Allow arguments for the last flag in short flag batch (#8808)

# Description
_Fixes #5923_

Currently `nushell` doesn't allow short flag batches to contain
arguments, despite this being a common pattern in commands like `git
commit -am 'My commit message'`. This PR relaxes this so that the last
flag in the batch can take an argument.

# User-Facing Changes
- `nu::parser::short_flag_arg_cant_take_arg` has been replaced by
`nu::parser::only_last_flag_in_batch_can_take_arg` and is displayed when
a flag other then the last in a short flag batch takes an argument.

# Tests + Formatting
- Both
[`test_parser.rs`](48af0ebc3c/crates/nu-parser/tests/test_parser.rs (L640-L704))
and
[`test_known_external.rs`](48af0ebc3c/src/tests/test_known_external.rs (L42-L61))
have been updated to test the new allowed and disallowed scenarios.
