Add LRU regex cache (#7587)
Closes #7572 by adding a cache for compiled regexes of type
`Arc<Mutex<LruCache<String, Regex>>>` to `EngineState` .

The cache is limited to 100 entries (limit chosen arbitrarily) and
evicts least-recently-used items first.

This PR makes a noticeable difference when using regexes for
`color_config`, e.g.:
```bash
#first set string formatting in config.nu like:
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }`

# then try displaying and exploring a table with many strings
# this is instant after the PR, but takes hundreds of milliseconds before
['#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#4101ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff']
```

## New dependency (`lru`)
This uses [the popular `lru` crate](https://lib.rs/crates/lru). The new
dependency adds 19.8KB to a Linux release build of Nushell. I think this
is OK, especially since the crate can be useful elsewhere in Nu.

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.
