Make catch block a closure w/ access to error (#7228)
A small follow-up to #7221. This changes the `catch` block from a block
to a closure, so that it can access the error returned from the `try`
block. This helps with a common scenario: "the `try` block failed, and I
want to log why it failed."

### Example

### Future Work

Nu's closure syntax is a little awkward here; it might be nicer to allow
something like `catch err { print $err }`. We discussed this on Discord
and it will require special parser code similar to what's already done
for `for`.

I'm not feeling confident enough in my parser knowledge to make that
change; I will spend some more time looking at the `for` code but I
doubt I will be able to implement anything in the next few days.
Volunteers welcome.

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.
