f70c6d5d48 Extract nu_source into a crate
This commit extracts Tag, Span, Text, as well as source-related debug
facilities into a new crate called nu_source.

This change is much bigger than one might have expected because the
previous code relied heavily on implementing inherent methods on
`Tagged<T>` and `Spanned<T>`, which is no longer possible.

As a result, this change creates more concrete types instead of using
`Tagged<T>`. One notable example: Tagged<Value> became Value, and Value
became UntaggedValue.

This change clarifies the intent of the code in many places, but it does
make it a big change.

Stream support (#812)
* Moves off of draining between filters. Instead, the sink will pull on the stream, and will drain element-wise. This moves the whole stream to being lazy.
* Adds ctrl-c support and connects it into some of the key points where we pull on the stream. If a ctrl-c is detect, we immediately halt pulling on the stream and return to the prompt.
* Moves away from having a SourceMap where anchor locations are stored. Now AnchorLocation is kept directly in the Tag.
* To make this possible, split tag and span. Span is largely used in the parser and is copyable. Tag is now no longer copyable.

1ad9d6f199 Overhaul the expansion system
The main thrust of this (very large) commit is an overhaul of the
expansion system.

The parsing pipeline is:

- Lightly parse the source file for atoms, basic delimiters and pipeline
  structure into a token tree
- Expand the token tree into a HIR (high-level intermediate
  representation) based upon the baseline syntax rules for expressions
  and the syntactic shape of commands.

Somewhat non-traditionally, nu doesn't have an AST at all. It goes
directly from the token tree, which doesn't represent many important
distinctions (like the difference between `hello` and `5KB`) directly
into a high-level representation that doesn't have a direct
correspondence to the source code.

At a high level, nu commands work like macros, in the sense that the
syntactic shape of the invocation of a command depends on the
definition of a command.

However, commands do not have the ability to perform unrestricted
expansions of the token tree. Instead, they describe their arguments in
terms of syntactic shapes, and the expander expands the token tree into
HIR based upon that definition.

For example, the `where` command says that it takes a block as its first
required argument, and the description of the block syntactic shape
expands the syntax `cpu > 10` into HIR that represents
`{ $it.cpu > 10 }`.

This commit overhauls that system so that the syntactic shapes are
described in terms of a few new traits (`ExpandSyntax` and
`ExpandExpression` are the primary ones) that are more composable than
the previous system.

The first big win of this new system is the addition of the `ColumnPath`
shape, which looks like `cpu."max ghz"` or `package.version`.
Previously, while a variable path could look like `$it.cpu."max ghz"`,
the tail of a variable path could not be easily reused in other
contexts. Now, that tail is its own syntactic shape, and it can be used
as part of a command's signature.

This cleans up commands like `inc`, `add` and `edit` as well as
shorthand blocks, which can now look like `| where cpu."max ghz" > 10`

58b7800172 Migrate most uses of the Span concept to Tag
Also migrate mv, rm and commands like that to taking a
SyntaxType::Pattern instead of a SyntaxType::Path for their first
argument.
