Make drop notification timing for plugin custom values more consistent (#12341)
# Description
This keeps plugin custom values that have requested drop notification
around during the lifetime of a plugin call / stream by sending them to
a channel that gets persisted during the lifetime of the call.

Before this change, it was very likely that the drop notification would
be sent before the plugin ever had a chance to handle the value it
received.

Tests have been added to make sure this works - see the `custom_values`
plugin.

# User-Facing Changes
This is basically just a bugfix, just a slightly big one.

However, I did add an `as_mut_any()` function for custom values, to
avoid having to clone them. This is a breaking change.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
