fix: fix commandline when called with no arguments (#8207)

# Description

This fixes the `commandline` command when it's run with no arguments, so
it outputs the command being run. New line characters are included.

This allows for:

- [A way to get current command inside pre_execution hook · Issue #6264
· nushell/nushell](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6264)
- The possibility of *Atuin* to work work *Nushell*. *Atuin* hooks need
to know the current repl input before it is run.

# User-Facing Changes

# Tests + Formatting

Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

# 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.
