add match guards (#9621)
## description

this pr adds [match
guards](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/match-expr.html#match-guards)
to match patterns
```nushell
match $x {
   _ if $x starts-with 'nu' => {},
   $x => {}
}
```

these work pretty much like rust's match guards, with few limitations:

1. multiple matches using the `|` are not (yet?) supported
 
```nushell
match $num {
    0 | _ if (is-odd $num) => {},
    _ => {}
}
```

2. blocks cannot be used as guards, (yet?)

```nushell
match $num {
    $x if { $x ** $x == inf } => {},
     _ => {}
}
```

## checklist
- [x] syntax
- [x] syntax highlighting[^1]
- [x] semantics
- [x] tests
- [x] clean up

nu-protocol

The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
