Expand tables in help examples in std (#13146) 
# Description

Some command help has example results with nested `table` data which is
displayed as the "non-expanded" form. E.g.:

```nu
╭───┬────────────────╮
│ 0 │ [list 2 items] │
│ 1 │ [list 2 items] │
╰───┴────────────────╯
```

For a good example, see `help zip`.

While we could simply remove the offending Example `result`'s from the
command itself, `std help` is capable of expanding the table properly.
It already formats the output of each example result using `table`, so
simply making it a `table -e` fixes the output.

While I wish we had a way of expanding the tables in the builtin `help`,
that seems to be the same type of problem as in formatting the `cal`
output (see #11954).

I personally think it's better to add this feature to `std help` than to
remove the offending example results, but as long as `std help` is
optional, only a small percentage of users are going to see the
"expected" results.

# User-Facing Changes

Excerpt from `std help zip` before change:

```nu
Zip two lists
> [1 2] | zip [3 4]
╭───┬────────────────╮
│ 0 │ [list 2 items] │
│ 1 │ [list 2 items] │
╰───┴────────────────╯
```

After:

```nu
Zip two lists
> [1 2] | zip [3 4]
╭───┬───────────╮
│ 0 │ ╭───┬───╮ │
│   │ │ 0 │ 1 │ │
│   │ │ 1 │ 3 │ │
│   │ ╰───┴───╯ │
│ 1 │ ╭───┬───╮ │
│   │ │ 0 │ 2 │ │
│   │ │ 1 │ 4 │ │
│   │ ╰───┴───╯ │
╰───┴───────────╯
```

# Display help information about different parts of Nushell.

# `help word` searches for "word" in commands, aliases and modules, in that order.
#
# Examples:
# show help for single command, alias, or module
# > help match
#
# show help for single sub-command, alias, or module
# > help str join
#
# search for string in command names, usage and search terms
# > help --find char
export def main [
...item: string@"nu-complete main-help" # the name of the help item to get help on
--find (-f): string # string to find in help items names and usage

Here are some tips to help you get started.
* ('help -h' | pretty-cmd) or ('help help' | pretty-cmd) - show available ('help' | pretty-cmd) subcommands and examples
* ('help commands' | pretty-cmd) - list all available commands
* ('help <name>' | pretty-cmd) - display help about a particular command, alias, or module
* ('help --find <text to search>' | pretty-cmd) - search through all help commands table
Nushell works on the idea of a "(ansi default_italic)pipeline(ansi reset)". Pipelines are commands connected with the '|' character.
Each stage in the pipeline works together to load, parse, and display information to you.
(ansi green)Examples(ansi reset):
List the files in the current directory, sorted by size
> ('ls | sort-by size' | nu-highlight)
Get the current system host name
> ('sys host | get hostname' | nu-highlight)
Get the processes on your system actively using CPU
> ('ps | where cpu > 0' | nu-highlight)
