Rename Value::CustomValue to Value::Custom (#12309)
# Description
The second `Value` is redundant and will consume five extra bytes on
each transmission of a custom value to/from a plugin.

# User-Facing Changes
This is a breaking change to the plugin protocol.

The [example in the protocol
reference](https://www.nushell.sh/contributor-book/plugin_protocol_reference.html#value)
becomes

```json
{
  "Custom": {
    "val": {
      "type": "PluginCustomValue",
      "name": "database",
      "data": [36, 190, 127, 40, 12, 3, 46, 83],
      "notify_on_drop": true
    },
    "span": {
      "start": 320,
      "end": 340
    }
  }
}
```

instead of 

```json
{
  "CustomValue": {
    ...
  }
}
```

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.
