Makes in so if you run `std help <external>` it will run `man <command>`
to get help pages. This command is configurable w/ the `$env.NU_HELPER`
var.
This will close#8032
Examples:
`std help rg` will display the ripgrep help pages
Todo:
- [x] Make flags and fallback configurable
- [x] Improve the warning that it is external
- [ ] Implement `--find` for external commands
# User-Facing Changes
Users will now be able to run `std help` on external commands
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
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
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr

# Description
as stated in the `0.79` release note, this PR removes the `old-alias`
and `export old-alias` commands, which were deprecated before.
# User-Facing Changes
`old-alias` is gone for good 😌
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# After Submitting
already mentionned in the `0.79` release note.
Should close on of the points in
- https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8813
# Description
this PR uses the new `--columns` option for `find` to filter the results
of the `std help` commands on the `usage`, `name` and `search_terms`
columns.
# User-Facing Changes
the `--find` option of `std help` commands should match more closely the
built-in `help` commands output.

# Description
before this PR, we had a problem
```
cargo run -- -c '{
modules: ((help modules | get name) == (std help modules | get name))
aliases: ((help aliases | get name) == (std help aliases | get name))
externs: ((help externs | get name) == (std help externs | get name))
operators: ((help operators | get name) == (std help operators | get name))
commands: ((help commands | get name) == (std help commands | get name))
}'
```
would give
```
╭───────────┬───────╮
│ modules │ false │
│ aliases │ true │
│ externs │ true │
│ operators │ false │
│ commands │ true │
╰───────────┴───────╯
```
this PR removes the `name` sorting so that the orders are the same
between the `std` implementation and the built-in one.
> **Note**
> run the same `cargo run` command as above and see

# User-Facing Changes
the operators in `std help ...` will be sorted just as the built-in
`help ...`.
