signpost 'input list --types [key]' from 'keybindings list' (#10287)

Supercedes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10196

# Description

After reading
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10196#issuecomment-1703986359 I
added a signpost from `keybindings listen` to `input listen`

When I initially tried `input listen` it always immediately returned
with:
```
╭───────┬────────╮
│ type  │ focus  │
│ event │ gained │
╰───────┴────────╯
```

I added an example to `input listen --help` to suggest only listening to
key events

Initially I also included a `result` but it prints as:

```
  ╭───────────┬───────────────╮
  │ type      │ key           │
  │ key_type  │ char          │
  │ code      │ c             │
  │ modifiers │ [list 1 item] │
  ╰───────────┴───────────────╯
```

rather than:

```
╭───────────┬───────────────────────────────╮
│ type      │ key                           │
│ key_type  │ char                          │
│ code      │ c                             │
│           │ ╭───┬───────────────────────╮ │
│ modifiers │ │ 0 │ keymodifiers(control) │ │
│           │ ╰───┴───────────────────────╯ │
╰───────────┴───────────────────────────────╯
```
so I removed it.

# User-Facing Changes

<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

* Example describing how to use `input list --types [key]` to listen for
keybindings.
* Signpost pointing at `use std input; input list --types [key]` from
`keybindings list`.

## After merging

It is probably worth:

a) signposting to the keybindings section of the book from both of these
subcommands (like I did in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10193),
b) giving an example in the book of how to take the output from `input
listen --types [key]` and format it for including in `config nu`
c) there are not currently any examples in
crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_config.nu for keybindings with
multiple modifiers. Should I add alt+backspace-in-macos-vscode as an
example (gets translated to `{ modifier: control_alt keycode: char_h }`
for historical reasons)?
