Remove default list-diving behaviour (#13386)
# Description

Before this change `default` would dive into lists and replace `null`
elements with the default value.
Therefore there was no easy way to process `null|list<null|string>`
input and receive `list<null|string>`
(IOW to apply the default on the top level only).

However it's trivially easy to apply default values to list elements
with the `each` command:
```nushell
[null, "a", null] | each { default "b" }
```

So there's no need to have this behavior in `default` command.

# User-Facing Changes

* `default` no longer dives into lists to replace `null` elements with
the default value.

# Tests + Formatting

Added a couple of tests for the new (and old) behavior.

# After Submitting

* Update docs.
