pipe binary data to external commands (#8058)
Fixes #7615 

# Description

When calling external commands, we create a table from the pipeline data
to handle external commands expecting paginated input. When a binary
value is made into a table, we convert the vector of bytes representing
the binary bytes into a pretty formatted string. This results in the
pretty formatted string being sent to external commands instead of the
actual binary bytes. By checking whether the stdout of the call is being
redirected, we can decide whether to send the raw binary bytes or the
pretty formatted output when creating a table command.

# User-Facing Changes

When passing binary values to external commands, the external command
will receive the actual bytes instead of the pretty printed string. Use
cases that don't involve piping a binary value into an external command
are unchanged.

# 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.
