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

Error:   × my custom error message
```

## After
```nushell
Create an error.

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
            }
        }
    }
```

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.

To see what's here:

> use std
> scope commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
#┬───────────name────────────┬──────────────────────usage──────────────────────
0│std assert                 │Universal assert command
1│std assert equal           │Assert $left == $right
2│std assert error           │Assert that executing the code generates an error
3│std assert greater         │Assert $left > $right
4│std assert greater or equal│Assert $left >= $right
             ...                                     ...
─┴───────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts

All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment (the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the use command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

use std

std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)

Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.

use std ["log debug" assert]

log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)

This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
