Add detailed flag for describe (#10795)

- Add `detailed` flag for `describe`

- Improve detailed describe and better format when running examples.

# Rationale

For now, neither `describe` nor any of the `debug` commands provide an
easy and structured way of inspecting the data's type and more. This
flag provides a structured way of getting such information. Allows also
to avoid the rather hacky solution
```nu
$in | describe | str replace --regex '<.*' ''
```

# User-facing changes

Adds a new flag to ``describe`.
