Improve type hovers (#9515)
# Description

This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:

* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type

I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.

# User-Facing Changes

Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.

Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.

Added comments to support API docs for the `nu-plugin` crate. Removed a
few items that I'd expect should only be used internally to Nushell from
the documentation and reduced the visibility of some items that did not
need to be public.

Standard tests run. Additionally numerous doctests were added to the
`nu-plugin` crate.

Make plugin commands support examples. (#7984)
# Description

As title, we can't provide examples for plugin commands, this pr would
make it possible


# User-Facing Changes

Take plugin `nu-example-1` as example:
```
❯ nu-example-1 -h
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing

Usage:
  > nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)

Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  -f, --flag - a flag for the signature
  -n, --named <String> - named string

Parameters:
  a <int>: required integer value
  b <string>: required string value
  (optional) opt <int>: Optional number
  ...rest <string>: rest value string

Examples:
  running example with an int value and string value
  > nu-example-1 3 bb
```

The examples session is newly added.

## Basic idea behind these changes
when nushell query plugin signatures, plugin just returns it's signature
without any examples, so nushell have no idea about the examples of
plugin commands.
To adding the feature, we just making plugin returns it's signature with
examples.

Before:
```
        1. get signature
         ----------------> 
Nushell ------------------  Plugin
        <-----------------
        2. returns Vec<Signature>
```

After:
```
        1. get signature
        ----------------> 
Nushell ------------------  Plugin
        <-----------------
        2. returns Vec<PluginSignature>
```
        
When writing plugin signature to $nu.plugin-path:
Serialize `<PluginSignature>` rather than `<Signature>`, which would
enable us to serialize examples to `$nu.plugin-path`

## Shortcoming
It's a breaking changes because `Plugin::signature` is changed, and it
requires plugin authors to change their code for new signatures.

Fortunally it should be easy to change, for rust based plugin, we just
need to make a global replace from word `Signature` to word
`PluginSignature` in their plugin project.

Our content of plugin-path is really large, if one plugin have many
examples, it'd results to larger body of $nu.plugin-path, which is not
really scale. A solution would be save register information in other
binary formats rather than `json`. But I think it'd be another story.
