* Add test for passing binary data through externals
This change adds an ignored test to confirm that binary data is passed
correctly between externals to be enabled in a later commit along with
the fix.
To assist in platform agnostic testing of binary data a couple of
additional testbins were added to allow testing on `Value::Binary` inside
`ExternalStream`.
* Support binary data to stdin of run-external
Prior to this change, any pipeline producing binary data (not detected
as string) then feed into an external would be ignored due to
run-external only supporting `Value::String` on stdin.
This change adds binary stdin support for externals allowing something
like this for example:
〉^cat /dev/urandom | ^head -c 1MiB | ^pv -b | ignore
1.00MiB
This would previously output `0.00 B [0.00 B/s]` due to the data not
being pushed to stdin at each stage.
* fix#4140
We are passing commands into a shell underneath but we were not
escaping arguments correctly. This new version of the code also takes
into consideration the ";" and "&" characters, which have special
meaning in shells.
We would probably benefit from a more robust way to join arguments to
shell programs. Python's stdlib has shlex.join, and perhaps we can
take that implementation as a reference.
* clean up escaping of posix shell args
I believe the right place to do escaping of arguments was in the
spawn_sh_command function. Note that this change prevents things like:
^echo "$(ls)"
from executing the ls command. Instead, this will just print
$(ls)
The regex has been taken from the python stdlib implementation of shlex.quote
* fix non-literal parameters and single quotes
* address clippy's comments
* fixup! address clippy's comments
* test that subshell commands are sanitized properly
Added test cases that ensure that special characters in path names are passed
to external commands correctly. These cases have been implemented with rstest
to reuse existing test code.

Our own custom escaping unfortunately is far too simple to cover all cases.
Instead, the parser will now do no transforms on the args passed to an external
command, letting the process spawning library deal with doing the appropriate
escaping.
For example, when running the following:
crates/nu-cli/src
nushell currently parses this as an external command. Before running the command, we check to see if
it's a directory. If it is, we "auto cd" into that directory, otherwise we go through normal
external processing.
If we put a trailing slash on it though, shells typically interpret that as "user is explicitly
referencing directory". So
crates/nu-cli/src/
should not be interpreted as "run an external command". We intercept a trailing slash in the head
position of a command in a pipeline as such, and inject a `cd` internal command.

In particular, one thing that we can't (properly) do before this commit
is consuming an infinite input stream. For example:
```
yes | grep y | head -n10
```
will give 10 "y"s in most shells, but blocks indefinitely in nu. This PR
resolves that by doing blocking I/O in threads, and reducing the `await`
calls we currently have in our pipeline code.

Switch to using the shell for subprocess to enable more natural shelling out.

This commit changes the way we shell out externals when using the `"$it"` argument. Also pipes per row to an external's stdin if no `"$it"` argument is present for external commands.
Further separation of logic (preparing the external's command arguments, getting the data for piping, emitting values, spawning processes) will give us a better idea for lower level details regarding external commands until we can find the right abstractions for making them more generic and unify within the pipeline calling logic of Nu internal's and external's.
