Use ref-cast crate to remove some unsafe (#14897)
# Description

In a few places, `nu-path` uses `unsafe` to do reference casts. This PR
adds the [`ref-cast`](https://crates.io/crates/ref-cast) crate to do
reference casts in a "safe" manner.

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.
