refactor the ansi help page (#8713)
# Description
i've always found the `ansi --help` extra usage hard to read and
understand...
i decided to give it a shot today, so here is what i came up 😋 

- make the extra usage structured with `nushell` tables
- make the examples clearer with variables and comments

one change that might appear strange is the following last two commits

`ansi` is never used on `list` inputs, as can be seen in the `Ansi.run`
function: `_input: PipelineData` is never used.
this broke the tests (see [this
action](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/actions/runs/4589552235/jobs/8104520078#step:4:1392))
for no real reason...

# User-Facing Changes
hopefully an easier to read `help ansi` page.

# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# 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.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
