std: add cross platform null-device name (#11070)
# Description
We have meet a discord discussion about cross platform `null-device`:
https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/988303282931912704/1165966467095875624

I want the same feature too...And I think it's good enough to add it
into `nu-std`.

Different to https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/pull/649/files, I
think named it to `null-device`(the name comes from
[wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_device)) is better than
`null-stream`.

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.
