Preserve attributes on external ByteStreams (#13305)
# Description

Bug fix: `PipelineData::check_external_failed()` was not preserving the
original `type_` and `known_size` attributes of the stream passed in for
streams that come from children, so `external-command | into binary` did
not work properly and always ended up still being unknown type.

# User-Facing Changes
The following test case now works as expected:

```nushell
> head -c 2 /dev/urandom | into binary
# Expected: pretty hex dump of binary
# Previous behavior: just raw binary in the terminal
```

# Tests + Formatting
Added a test to cover this to `into binary`

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.
