Use nucleo instead of skim for completions (#14846)
# Description

This PR replaces `SkimMatcherV2` from the
[fuzzy-matcher](https://docs.rs/fuzzy-matcher/latest/fuzzy_matcher/)
crate with the
[nucleo-matcher](https://docs.rs/nucleo-matcher/latest/nucleo_matcher/)
crate for doing fuzzy matching. This touches both our completion code in
`nu-cli` and symbol filtering in `nu-lsp`.

Nucleo should give us better performance than Skim. In the event that we
decide to use the Nucleo frontend ([crate
docs](https://docs.rs/nucleo/latest/nucleo/)) too, it also works on
Windows, unlike [Skim](https://github.com/skim-rs/skim), which appears
to only support Linux and MacOS.

Unfortunately, we still have an indirect dependency on `fuzzy-matcher`,
because the [`dialoguer`](https://github.com/console-rs/dialoguer) crate
uses it.

# User-Facing Changes

No breaking changes. Suggestions will be sorted differently, because
Nucleo uses a different algorithm from Skim for matching/scoring.
Hopefully, the new sorting will generally make more sense.

# Tests + Formatting

In `nu-cli`, modified an existing test, but didn't test performance. I
haven't tested `nu-lsp` manually, but existing tests pass.

I did manually do `ls /nix/store/<TAB>`, `ls /nix/store/d<TAB>`, etc.,
but didn't notice Nucleo being faster (my `/nix/store` folder has 34136
items at the time of writing).
