don't show result in error make examples (#13296)
# Description
Fixes: #13189 

The issue is caused `error make` returns a `Value::Errror`, and when
nushell pass it to `table -e` in `std help`, it directly stop and render
the error message.
To solve it, I think it's safe to make these examples return None
directly, it doesn't change the reult of `help error make`.

# User-Facing Changes
## Before
```nushell
~> help "error make"
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input

  × Eval block failed with pipeline input
     ╭─[NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std/help.nu:692:21]

     ·                     ───────┬──────
     ·                            ╰── source value

Error:   × my custom error message
```

## After
```nushell

Search terms: panic, crash, throw

Category: core

This command:
- does not create a scope.
- is a built-in command.
- is a subcommand.
- is not part of a plugin.
- is not a custom command.
- is not a keyword.

Usage:
  > error make {flags} <error_struct>


Flags:

  -u, --unspanned - remove the origin label from the error
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command

Signatures:

  <nothing> | error make[ <record>] -> <any>

Parameters:

  error_struct: <record> The error to create.


Examples:
  Create a simple custom error
  > error make {msg: "my custom error message"}


  Create a more complex custom error
  > error make {
        msg: "my custom error message"
        label: {
            text: "my custom label text"  # not mandatory unless $.label exists
            # optional
            span: {
                # if $.label.span exists, both start and end must be present
                start: 123
                end: 456
            }
        }
        help: "A help string, suggesting a fix to the user"  # optional
    }


  Create a custom error for a custom command that shows the span of the argument
  > def foo [x] {
        error make {
            msg: "this is fishy"
            label: {
                text: "fish right here"
                span: (metadata $x).span
            }
        }
    }
```

nu-cmd-lang

the base language and command crate of nu

The commands in this crate are the core commands of the nu language. It is also the base crate upon which all other command crates sit on top of including:

  • nu-command
  • nu-cli
  • nu-cmd-extra

As time goes on and the nu language develops further in parallel with nushell we will be adding other command crates to the system.

What does it mean to be a base crate ?

A base crate is one with minimal dependencies in our system so that other developers can come along and use this crate without having a lot of baggage in terms of other crates which will bloat their underlying application.

Background on nu-cmd-lang

This crate was designed to be a small, concise set of tools or commands that serve as the foundation layer of both nu and nushell. These are the core commands needed to have a nice working version of the nu language without all of the support that the other commands provide inside nushell. Prior to the launch of this crate all of our commands were housed in the crate nu-command. Moving forward we would like to slowly break out the commands in nu-command into different crates; the naming and how this will work and where all the commands will be located is a "work in progress" especially now that the standard library is starting to become more popular as a location for commands. As time goes on some of our commands written in rust will be migrated to nu and when this happens they will be moved into the standard library.
