add version check command (#14880)
# Description

This PR supersedes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14813 by
making it a built-in command instead of checking for the latest version
at some interval when nushell starts.

This is what it looks like.

This example shows the output when the running version was
0.101.1-nightly.10

Description from old PR.
One key functionality that I thought was interesting with this and that
I worked with @hustcer on was to try and make sure it works with
nightlies. So, it should tell you when there's a new nightly version
that is available to download. This way, you can know about it without
checking.

What's key from a nightly perspective is (1) the tags are now semver
compliant and (2) hustcer now updates the Cargo.toml package.version
version number prior to compilation so you can know you're running a
nightly version, and this PR uses that information to know whether to
check the nightly repo or the nushell repo for updates.

This uses the
[update-informer](https://docs.rs/update-informer/latest/update_informer/)
crate. NOTE that this _informs_ you of updates but does not
automatically update. I kind of see this as the first step to eventually
having an auto updater.

There was caching of the version in the old PR since it ran on every
nushell startup. Since this PR makes it a command and therefore always
runs on-demand, I've removed the caching so that it always checks when
you run it.

<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

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.
