A fill command to replace str lpad and str rpad (#7846)
# Description

The point of this command is to allow you to be able to format ints,
floats, filesizes, and strings with an alignment, padding, and a fill
character, as strings. It's meant to take the place of `str lpad` and
`str rpad`.

```
> help fill

Search terms: display, render, format, pad, align

Usage:
  > fill {flags}

Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  -w, --width <Int> - The width of the output. Defaults to 1
  -a, --alignment <String> - The alignment of the output. Defaults to Left (Left(l), Right(r), Center(c/m), MiddleRight(cr/mr))
  -c, --character <String> - The character to fill with. Defaults to ' ' (space)

Signatures:
  <number> | fill -> <string>
  <string> | fill -> <string>

Examples:
  Fill a string on the left side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
  > 'nushell' | fill -a l -c '─' -w 15

  Fill a string on the right side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
  > 'nushell' | fill -a r -c '─' -w 15

  Fill a string on both sides to a width of 15 with the character '─'
  > 'nushell' | fill -a m -c '─' -w 15

  Fill a number on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
  > 1 | fill --alignment right --character 0 --width 5

  Fill a filesize on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
  > 1kib | fill --alignment middle --character 0 --width 10

# User-Facing Changes

Deprecated `str lpad` and `str rpad`.

# 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` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

# After Submitting

If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
