Fix incorrect handling of boolean flags for builtin commands (#11492)
# Description
Possible fix of #11456
This PR fixes a bug where builtin commands did not respect the logic of
dynamically passed boolean flags. The reason is
[has_flag](6f59abaf43/crates/nu-protocol/src/ast/call.rs (L204C5-L212C6))
method did not evaluate and take into consideration expression used with
flag.

To address this issue a solution is proposed:
1. `has_flag` method is moved to `CallExt` and new logic to evaluate
expression and check if it is a boolean value is added
2. `has_flag_const` method is added to `CallExt` which is a constant
version of `has_flag`
3. `has_named` method is added to `Call` which is basically the old
logic of `has_flag`
4. All usages of `has_flag` in code are updated, mostly to pass
`engine_state` and `stack` to new `has_flag`. In `run_const` commands it
is replaced with `has_flag_const`. And in a few select places: parser,
`to nuon` and `into string` old logic via `has_named` is used.

# User-Facing Changes
Explicit values of boolean flags are now respected in builtin commands.

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.
