add to ndjson and to jsonl to the standard library (#10519)
follow up to
- #10283

# Description
even though it appears defining `to foo` does not allow to do `save
x.foo` for free (see https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10429),
because #10283 did add `from ndjson` and `from jsonl` to the standard
library, i thought adding their `to ...` counterpart would make sense
😋

# User-Facing Changes
users can now convert structured data back to NDJSON and JSONL 👌

# Tests + Formatting
this PR adds the exact same tests as for the `from ...` commands
- structured data is in `result` and the string is now the expected
- the two invalid `from ...` tests cannot be reproduced for `to ...`
afaik

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.

To see what's here:

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts

All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment (the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the use command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

use std

std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)

Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.

use std ["log debug" assert]

log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)

This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
