view span & view files commands (#7989)
# Description

This PR does the following:
1. Adds a new command called `view span` - which shows what is at the
location of the span parameters
2. Adds a new command called `view` - which just lists all the `view`
commands.
3. Renames `view-source` to `view source`.
4. Adds a new command called `view files` - which shows you what files
are loaded into nushell's EngineState memory.
5. Added a `Category::Debug` and put these commands (and others) into
it. (`inspect` needs to be added to it, but it's not landed yet)

Spans are important to nushell. One of their uses is to show where
errors are. For instance, in this example, the leader lines pointing to
parts of the command line are able to point to `10`, `/`, and `"bob"`
because each of those items have a span.
```
> 10 / "bob"
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation (link)

  × Types mismatched for operation.

  help: Change int or string to be the right types and try again.

# Examples

## view span
Example:
```
> $env.config | get keybindings | first | debug -r
... bunch of stuff
                    span: Span {
                        start: 68065,
                        end: 68090,
                    },
                },
            ],
            span: Span {
                start: 68050,
                end: 68101,
            },
        },
    ],
    span: Span {
        start: 67927,
        end: 68108,
    },
}
```
To view the last span:
```
> view span 67927 68108 
{
        name: clear_everything
        modifier: control
        keycode: char_l
        mode: emacs
        event: [
            { send: clearscrollback }
        ]
    }
```
> To view the 2nd to last span:
```
view span 68065 68090
{ send: clearscrollback }
```
> To view the 3rd to last span:
```
view span 68050 68101
[
            { send: clearscrollback }
        ]
```

## view files

`entry #x` will be each command you type in the repl (i think). so, it
may be good to filter those out sometimes.

# User-Facing Changes

I renamed `view-source` to `view source` just to make a group of
commands. No functionality has changed in `view source`.

# 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.

nu-protocol

The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
