Update internal use of decimal to float (#10333)
# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320

Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.

Work for #10332

# User-Facing Changes

`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol. 

Instead of 
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use 
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```

Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`

# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`
- Update comment in script

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.
