Better generic errors for plugins (and perhaps scripts) (#12236)
# Description
This makes `LabeledError` much more capable of representing close to
everything a `miette::Diagnostic` can, including `ShellError`, and
allows plugins to generate multiple error spans, codes, help, etc.

`LabeledError` is now embeddable within `ShellError` as a transparent
variant.

This could also be used to improve `error make` and `try/catch` to
reflect `LabeledError` exactly in the future.

Also cleaned up some errors in existing plugins.

# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change for plugins. Nicer errors for users.

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.
