57af9b5040 Add Range and start Signature support
This commit contains two improvements:

- Support for a Range syntax (and a corresponding Range value)
- Work towards a signature syntax

Implementing the Range syntax resulted in cleaning up how operators in
the core syntax works. There are now two kinds of infix operators

- tight operators (`.` and `..`)
- loose operators

Tight operators may not be interspersed (`$it.left..$it.right` is a
syntax error). Loose operators require whitespace on both sides of the
operator, and can be arbitrarily interspersed. Precedence is left to
right in the core syntax.

Note that delimited syntax (like `( ... )` or `[ ... ]`) is a single
token node in the core syntax. A single token node can be parsed from
beginning to end in a context-free manner.

The rule for `.` is `<token node>.<member>`. The rule for `..` is
`<token node>..<token node>`.

Loose operators all have the same syntactic rule: `<token
node><space><loose op><space><token node>`.

The second aspect of this pull request is the beginning of support for a
signature syntax. Before implementing signatures, a necessary
prerequisite is for the core syntax to support multi-line programs.

That work establishes a few things:

- `;` and newlines are handled in the core grammar, and both count as
  "separators"
- line comments begin with `#` and continue until the end of the line

In this commit, multi-token productions in the core grammar can use
separators interchangably with spaces. However, I think we will
ultimately want a different rule preventing separators from occurring
before an infix operator, so that the end of a line is always
unambiguous. This would avoid gratuitous differences between modules and
repl usage.

We already effectively have this rule, because otherwise `x<newline> |
y` would be a single pipeline, but of course that wouldn't work.

8f9dd6516e Add =~ and !~ operators on strings
`left =~ right` return true if left contains right, using Rust's
`String::contains`. `!~` is the negated version.

A new `apply_operator` function is added which decouples evaluation from
`Value::compare`. This returns a `Value` and opens the door to
implementing `+` for example, though it wouldn't be useful immediately.

The `operator!` macro had to be changed slightly as it would choke on
`~` in arguments.

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.
