remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574)
# Description

For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.

So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.

Before:

```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```

Now:

```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```

It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.

This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

Re-implement aliases (#8123)
# Description

This PR adds an alternative alias implementation. Old aliases still work
but you need to use `old-alias` instead of `alias`.

Instead of replacing spans in the original code and re-parsing, which
proved to be extremely error-prone and a constant source of panics, the
new implementation creates a new command that references the old
command. Consider the new alias defined as `alias ll = ls -l`. The
parser creates a new command called `ll` and remembers that it is
actually a `ls` command called with the `-l` flag. Then, when the parser
sees the `ll` command, it will translate it to `ls -l` and passes to it
any parameters that were passed to the call to `ll`. It works quite
similar to how known externals defined with `extern` are implemented.

The new alias implementation should work the same way as the old
aliases, including exporting from modules, referencing both known and
unknown externals. It seems to preserve custom completions and pipeline
metadata. It is quite robust in most cases but there are some rough
edges (see later).

Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7648,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8026,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7512,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/5780,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7754

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might
revisit the completions code after this PR)

Should use custom command instead:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6048

# User-Facing Changes

Since aliases are now basically commands, it has some new implications:

1. `alias spam = "spam"` (requires command call)
	* **workaround**: use `alias spam = echo "spam"`
2. `def foo [] { 'foo' }; alias foo = ls -l` (foo defined more than
once)
* **workaround**: use different name (commands also have this
limitation)
4. `alias ls = (ls | sort-by type name -i)`
* **workaround**: Use custom command. _The common issue with this is
that it is currently not easy to pass flags through custom commands and
command referencing itself will lead to stack overflow. Both of these
issues are meant to be addressed._
5. TODO: Help messages, `which` command, `$nu.scope.aliases`, etc.
* Should we treat the aliases as commands or should they be separated
from regular commands?
6. Needs better error message and syntax highlight for recursed alias
(`alias f = f`)
7. Can't create alias with the same name as existing command (`alias ls
= ls -a`)
	* Might be possible to add support for it (not 100% sure)
8. Standalone `alias` doesn't list aliases anymore
9. Can't alias parser keywords (e.g., stuff like `alias ou = overlay
use` won't work)
	* TODO: Needs a better error message when attempting to do so

* Add overlay add tests; Disable debug print

* Fix overlay add; Add overlay remove

* Add overlay remove tests

* Add missing overlay remove file

* Add overlay list command

* (WIP?) Enable overlays for env vars

* Move OverlayFrames to ScopeFrames

* (WIP) Move everything to overlays only

ScopeFrame contains nothing but overlays now

* Check for active overlays equality in overlay list

This removes the -p flag: Either both parser and engine will have the
same overlays, or the command will fail.

* Add merging on overlay remove

* Change help message and comment

* Add some remove-merge/discard tests

* (WIP) Track removed overlays properly

* Clippy; Fmt

* added flags and optional arguments to view-source

* removed redundant code

* removed redundant code

* fmt

* fix bug in shell_integration (#5450)

* fix bug in shell_integration

* add some comments

* enable cd to work with directory abbreviations (#5452)

Signed-off-by: Yuheng Su <gipsyh.icu@gmail.com>

* Add two more overlay tests

* Add ModuleId to OverlayFrame

* Fix env conversion accidentally activating overlay

It activated overlay from permanent state prematurely which would
cause `overlay add` to misbehave.

* Remove unused parameter; Add overlay list test

* Remove added traces

* Add overlay commands examples

* Modify TODO

* Fix $nu.scope iteration

* Disallow removing default overlay

* Refactor some parser errors

* Remove last overlay if no argument

* Diversify overlay examples

* Make it possible to update overlay's module

In case the origin module updates, the overlay add loads the new module,
makes it overlay's origin and applies the changes. Before, it was
impossible to update the overlay if the module changed.
