allow mut to take pipelines (#9658)
# Description

This extends the syntax fix for `let` (#9589) to `mut` as well.

Example: `mut x = "hello world" | str length; print $x`

closes #9634

# User-Facing Changes

`mut` now joins `let` in being able to be assigned from a pipeline

Let with pipeline (#9589)
# Description

This changes the default behaviour of `let` to be able to take a
pipeline as its initial value.

For example:

```
> let x = "hello world" | str length
```

This is a change from the existing behaviour, where the right hand side
is assumed to be an expression. Pipelines are more general, and can be
more powerful.

My google foo is failing me, but this also fixes this issue:

```
let x = foo
```

Currently, this reads `foo` as a bareword that gets converted to a
string rather than running the `foo` command. In practice, this is
really annoying and is a really hard to spot bug in a script.

# User-Facing Changes

BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE

`let` gains the power to be assigned via a pipeline. However, this
changes the behaviour of `let x = foo` from assigning the string "foo"
to `$x` to being "run the command `foo` and give the result to `$x`"

unify the *-BuiltinVar parser errors (#8944)
# Description

this pr condenses `MutBuiltinVar`, `LetBuiltinVar` and `ConstBuiltinVar`
into one error:
```nu
Error: nu::parser::name_is_builtin_var

  × `in` used as variable name.
   ╭─[entry #69:1:1]
 1 │ let in = 420
   ·     ─┬
   ·      ╰── already a builtin variable
   ╰────
  help: 'in' is the name of a builtin Nushell variable and cannot be used
        as a variable name
```

it also fixes this case which was previously not handled
```nu
let $nu = 420 # this variable would have been 'lost'
```

Limited mutable variables (#7089)
This adds support for (limited) mutable variables. Mutable variables are created with mut much the same way immutable variables are made with let.

Mutable variables allow mutation via the assignment operator (=).

❯ mut x = 100
❯ $x = 200
❯ print $x
200

Mutable variables are limited in that they're only tended to be used in the local code block. Trying to capture a local variable will result in an error:

❯ mut x = 123; {|| $x }
Error: nu::parser::expected_keyword (link)

  × Capture of mutable variable.

The intent of this limitation is to reduce some of the issues with mutable variables in general: namely they make code that's harder to reason about. By reducing the scope that a mutable variable can be used it, we can help create local reasoning about them.

Mutation can occur with fields as well, as in this case:

❯ mut y = {abc: 123}
❯ $y.abc = 456
❯ $y

On a historical note: mutable variables are something that we resisted for quite a long time, leaning as much as we could on the functional style of pipelines and dataflow. That said, we've watched folks struggle to work with reduce as an approximation for patterns that would be trivial to express with local mutation. With that in mind, we're leaning towards the happy path.
