Unify glob behavior on open, rm, cp-old, mv, umv, cp and du commands (#11621)
# Description
This pr is a follow up to
[#11569](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11569#issuecomment-1902279587)
> Revert the logic in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10694 and
apply the logic in this pr to mv, cp, rv will require a larger change, I
need to think how to achieve the bahavior

And sorry @bobhy for reverting some of your changes.

This pr is going to unify glob behavior on the given commands:
* open
* rm
* cp-old
* mv
* umv
* cp
* du

So they have the same behavior to `ls`, which is:
If given parameter is quoted by single quote(`'`) or double quote(`"`),
don't auto-expand the glob pattern. If not quoted, auto-expand the glob
pattern.

Fixes: #9558  Fixes: #10211 Fixes: #9310 Fixes: #10364 

# TODO
But there is one thing remains: if we give a variable to the command, it
will always auto-expand the glob pattern, e.g:
```nushell
let path = "a[123]b"
rm $path
```
I don't think it's expected. But I also think user might want to
auto-expand the glob pattern in variables.

So I'll introduce a new command called `glob escape`, then if user
doesn't want to auto-expand the glob pattern, he can just do this: `rm
($path | glob escape)`

## NOTE
This pr changes the semantic of `GlobPattern`, before this pr, it will
`expand path` after evaluated, this makes `nu_engine::glob_from` have no
chance to glob things right if a path contains glob pattern.

e.g: [#9310
](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9310#issuecomment-1886824030)
#10211

I think changing the semantic is fine, because it makes glob works if
path contains something like '*'.

It maybe a breaking change if a custom command's argument are annotated
by `: glob`.

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.
