132ikl da9615f971 Fix parse-time pipeline type checking to support multiple output types for same input type (#16111)
# Description
Fixes #15485

This PR changes pipeline checking to keep track of all possible output
types instead of only first type matching input type which appears in
the input/output types. For example, in this command:
```nushell
def foo []: [int -> string, int -> record] {
  # ...
}
```
An `int` input to the command may result in a string or a record to be
output. Before this PR, Nushell would always assume that an `int` input
would cause a `string` output because it's the first matching
input/output type pair. This would cause issues during type checking
where the parser would incorrectly determine the output type. After this
PR, Nushell considers the command to output either a string or a record.

# User-Facing Changes
* Parse-time pipeline type checking now properly supports commands with
multiple pipeline output types for the same pipeline input type

# Tests + Formatting
Added a couple tests

# After Submitting
N/A

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.
