Make timeit take only closures as an argument (#14483)
# Description

Fixes #14401 where expressions passed to `timeit` will execute twice.
This PR removes the expression support for `timeit`, as this behavior is
almost exclusive to `timeit` and can hinder migration to the IR
evaluator in the future. Additionally, `timeit` used to be able to take
a `block` as an argument. Blocks should probably only be allowed for
parser keywords, so this PR changes `timeit` to instead only take
closures as an argument. This also fixes an issue where environment
updates inside the `timeit` block would affect the parent scope and all
commands later in the pipeline.

```nu
> timeit { $env.FOO = 'bar' }; print $env.FOO
bar
```

# User-Facing Changes

`timeit` now only takes a closure as the first argument.

# After Submitting

Update examples in the book/docs if necessary.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
