Rename into decimal to into float (#9979)
# Description
We keep "into decimal" for a release and warn through a message that it
will be removed in 0.86.

All tests are updated to use `into float`

# User-Facing Changes
`into decimal` raises a deprecation warning, will be removed soon.
Use `into float` as the new functionally identical command instead.

```

Error:   × Deprecated command

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:

> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "

🧰 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.
