Change PluginCommand API to be more like Command (#12279)
# Description

This is something that was discussed in the core team meeting last
Wednesday. @ayax79 is building `nu-plugin-polars` with all of the
dataframe commands into a plugin, and there are a lot of them, so it
would help to make the API more similar. At the same time, I think the
`Command` API is just better anyway. I don't think the difference is
justified, and the types for core commands have the benefit of requiring
less `.into()` because they often don't own their data

- Broke `signature()` up into `name()`, `usage()`, `extra_usage()`,
`search_terms()`, `examples()`
- `signature()` returns `nu_protocol::Signature`
- `examples()` returns `Vec<nu_protocol::Example>`
- `PluginSignature` and `PluginExample` no longer need to be used by
plugin developers

# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API for plugins yet again 😄

// pass to the plug in Int and String. This should be improved when the plugin has
// the ability to call back to NuShell to extract more information
// Keep this in mind when designing your plugin signatures
