REFACTOR: move the banner from the rust source to the standard library (#8406)
Related to:
- #8311 
- #8353

# Description
with the new `$nu.startup-time` from #8353 and as mentionned in #8311,
we are now able to fully move the `nushell` banner from the `rust`
source base to the standard library.

this PR
- removes all the `rust` source code for the banner
- rewrites a perfect clone of the banner to `std.nu`, called `std
banner`
- call `std banner` from `default_config.nu`

# User-Facing Changes
see the demo: https://asciinema.org/a/566521

- no config will show the banner (e.g. `cargo run --release --
--no-config-file`)
- a custom config without the `if $env.config.show_banner` block and no
call to `std banner` would never show the banner
- a custom config with the block and `config.show_banner = true` will
show the banner
- a custom config with the block and `config.show_banner = false` will
NOT show the banner

# Tests + Formatting
a new test line has been added to `tests.nu` to check the length of the
`std banner` output.
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# After Submitting
```
$nothing
```

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.

To see what's here:

> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│  # │            name             │                                usage                           │

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts

All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment (the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the use command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

use std

std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)

Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.

use std ["log debug" assert]

log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)

This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
