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]
