This PR removes the `line_head_top`, `line_head_bottom`, `line_shift`,
and `line_index` configuration options from `explore`. These were
previously used to control whether the horizontal+vertical lines in this
`ls | explore -i` screenshot would be displayed:

Now, all lines are displayed (same as the previous default config
values) and this is no longer configurable.
## Context
I'm continuing to chip away at `explore` when I have time. I have a
long-term goal to make `explore` simpler for users+developers. For now
I'm mostly making small incremental changes where I find underused
functionality+configuration and remove it; hopefully eventually this
will make it easier to make larger changes.
I found these specific config options a little hard to understand when
reading `explore` code, and when reading `config.nu` as a user their
behaviour+naming is not obvious. I also think that in the long term,
`explore` styling should inherit most styling from `table` instead of
having its own styling system.
More incremental `explore` improvements!
This PR removes the `show_cursor` config from the `explore` command, in
favour of always using the background colour to highlight the selected
cell. I believe this is a better default and I'd like to remove the
`show_cursor` functionality entirely as part of the effort to simplify
`explore`.
The style for selected cells is still configurable. I went with light
blue for the default background colour, it looks OK to me.
## Before:

## After:

This PR removes the `explore.try.border_color` config item, and instead
always uses the `separator` colour (the one used for regular table
borders) from the current theme.
The PR also removes some unused `explore.config` bits from the default
config (I missed this in https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10259).
### Future Work
This PR is intentionally small, I want to confirm that I'm on the right
track before I rip out more colour config from `explore`. If all goes
well, expect more PRs like this soon.
### Testing
I confirmed that this works by changing my `separator` colour in
`config.nu`, and also confirmed that nothing breaks if a user still has
`explore.try.border_color` in their config.
More trimming of underused `explore` functionality.
The `explore` command has subcommands that can be run like `:config` or
`:try` or whatnot. This PR removes the `:config`, `:show-config`, and
`:tweak` commands which are all for viewing+modifying config.
These are interesting commands and they were cool experiments, but
ultimately I don't think they fit with our plans for a simplified
`explore`. They'd need a lot more polish if we want to keep them and I
don't think we do. Happy to discuss if I've missed a good reason to keep
these.

# Description
As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
```rust
record! {
"key1" => some_value,
"key2" => Value::string("text", span),
"key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
"key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
}
```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.
Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.
# User-Facing Changes
Besides the changes in `nu-protocol` the only other breaking changes are
to `nu-table::{ExpandedTable::build_map, JustTable::kv_table}`.
# Description
This PR ensures functions exist to extract and create each and every
`Value` case. It also renames `Value::boolean` to `Value::bool` to match
`Value::test_bool`, `Value::as_bool`, and `Value::Bool`. Similarly,
`Value::as_integer` was renamed to `Value::as_int` to be consistent with
`Value::int`, `Value::test_int`, and `Value::Int`. These two renames can
be undone if necessary.
# User-Facing Changes
No user facing changes, but two public functions were renamed which may
affect downstream dependents.
This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391
We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.
The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.
Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.
Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.

Some minor code cleanup.
We've accumulated a few macros over the years that arguably don't need
to be macros. This PR removes 4 macros by either:
1. Inlining the macro
2. Replacing the macro with a local function
3. Replacing the macro with a closure
# Description
Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`
More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)
Alternative to #7865
# User-Facing Changes
None intended
# Tests + Formatting
(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)
A few small tweaks to the new `explore` command:
1. Rewrote the help text a bit.
1. I think it's important to mention `:try` up front.
2. Removed the info about `:help foo` because it's currently supported
by very few subcommands
2. Make `exit_esc` default to true. I want to avoid people getting stuck
in `explore` like they get stuck in Vim
3. ~~Always show the help message ("For help type :help") on startup~~
1. The message is small+unobtrusive and I don't this is worth a
configuration item
4. Exit the information view when Escape is pressed
5. General typo+grammar cleanup

# Description
Closes#6909. You can now add closures to your `color_config` themes.
Whenever a value would be printed with `table`, the closure is run with
the value piped-in. The closure must return either a {fg,bg,attr} record
or a color name (`'light_red'` etc.). This returned style is used to
colour the value.
This is entirely backwards-compatible with existing config.nu files.
Example code excerpt:
```
let my_theme = {
header: green_bold
bool: { if $in { 'light_cyan' } else { 'light_red' } }
int: purple_bold
filesize: { |e| if $e == 0b { 'gray' } else if $e < 1mb { 'purple_bold' } else { 'cyan_bold' } }
duration: purple_bold
date: { (date now) - $in | if $in > 1wk { 'cyan_bold' } else if $in > 1day { 'green_bold' } else { 'yellow_bold' } }
range: yellow_bold
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }
nothing: white
```
Example output with this in effect:



Slightly important notes:
* Some color_config names, namely "separator", "empty" and "hints", pipe
in `null` instead of a value.
* Currently, doing anything non-trivial inside a closure has an
understandably big perf hit. I currently do not actually recommend
something like `string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' }
}` for serious work, mainly because of the abundance of string-type data
in the world. Nevertheless, lesser-used types like "date" and "duration"
work well with this.
* I had to do some reorganisation in order to make it possible to call
`eval_block()` that late in table rendering. I invented a new struct
called "StyleComputer" which holds the engine_state and stack of the
initial `table` command (implicit or explicit).
* StyleComputer has a `compute()` method which takes a color_config name
and a nu value, and always returns the correct Style, so you don't have
to worry about A) the color_config value was set at all, B) whether it
was set to a closure or not, or C) which default style to use in those
cases.
* Currently, errors encountered during execution of the closures are
thrown in the garbage. Any other ideas are welcome. (Nonetheless, errors
result in a huge perf hit when they are encountered. I think what should
be done is to assume something terrible happened to the user's config
and invalidate the StyleComputer for that `table` run, thus causing
subsequent output to just be Style::default().)
* More thorough tests are forthcoming - ran into some difficulty using
`nu!` to take an alternative config, and for some reason `let-env config
=` statements don't seem to work inside `nu!` pipelines(???)
* The default config.nu has not been updated to make use of this yet. Do
tell if you think I should incorporate that into this.

# Description
While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
val: a,
span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.
