fixes#10455
@KAAtheWiseGit, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to block your first PR #10461,
didn't see you had submitted it till I got around to submitting this. If
you want to incoporate useful ideas from this PR into yours, I do not
mind deferring to you.
# Description
Changes made in `datetime-diff`:
* Initialize millisecond and microsecond fields in `$current`, to fix
the error when borrow needs to refer to them.
* Fix `borrow_nanoseconds` to borrow from seconds, not from (unused)
microseconds.
* Added error check to insist that first argument is >= second argument.
`datetime-diff` doesn't represent negative durations correctly (it tries
to borrow out of the year, resulting in negative year and positive all
other fields). We don't currently have a use case requiring negative
durations.
* Add comments so help is a bit clearer (I was surprised that the first
argument, named `$from` was actually supposed to be the *later*
datetime. The order of arguments is reasonable (reminiscent of <later>
<minus> <earlier>), so I just changed the param name to match its
purpose.
Changes made in `pretty-print-duration`:
* changed type of argument from `duration` to `record`. (it's not clear
why Nu was not complaining about this!)
* changed test for skipping a clause from `> 0` to `!= 0`. Even though
`datetime-diff` won't present a negative field in the record, user might
call `pretty-print-duration` with one, might as well handle it. (but I
think `hour:-2` will be rendered as `-2hr`, not `-2hrs`...).
* added help and an example.

# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320
Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.
Work for #10332
# User-Facing Changes
`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol.
Instead of
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```
Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`
# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`
- Update comment in script
# Tests + Formatting
Updates the names of some tests
