explore: add more less key bindings and add Transition::None (#14468)
# Description
The `explore` command is `less`-like, but it's missing the `Emacs`
keybindings for up/down and PageUp/PageDown as well as the "q" to quit
out. When I looked into adding those additional keybindings, I noticed
there was a lot of duplicated code in the various views, so I refactored
the code into a new `trait CursorMoveHandler`. I also noticed that there
was an existing `TODO: should we add a noop transition instead of doing
Option<Transition> everywhere?` comment in the code. I went ahead and
implemented a new `Transition::None`, and that made the new `trait
CursorMoveHandler` code MUCH cleaner, in addition to making some of the
old code a little cleaner as well.

# User-Facing Changes
Users that are used to the keybindings for `less` should feel much more
comfortable using `explore`.

# Tests + Formatting
Unfortunately, there aren't any existing tests for the `explore`
command, so I didn't know where I should add new tests to cover my code
changes.

remove terminal_size crate everywhere it makes sense (#14423)
# Description

This PR removes the `terminal_size` crate everywhere that it made sense.
I replaced it with crossterm's version called `size`. The places I
didn't remove it were the places that did not have a dependency on
crossterm. So, I thought it was "cheaper" to have a dep on term_size vs
crossterm in those locations.

Make get_env_var return a reference to a Value (#13987)
# Description
Title says it all, changes `EngineState::get_env_var` to return a
`Option<&'a Value>` instead of an owned `Option<Value>`. This avoids
some unnecessary clones.

I also made a similar change to the `PluginExecutionContext` trait.

fix inspect and explore panics on empty records (#13893)
# Description

Fixes a couple panics:

```
> {} | inspect
Error:   x Main thread panicked.
  |-> at crates/nu-command/src/debug/inspect_table.rs:87:15
  `-> attempt to divide by zero
```

```
> {} | explore
# see an empty column, press Down
Error:   x Main thread panicked.
  |-> at crates/nu-explore/src/views/cursor/mod.rs:39:9
  `-> attempt to subtract with overflow
```

# User-Facing Changes

`{} | inspect` now outputs an empty table:

```
╭─────────────┬────────╮
│ description │ record │
├─────────────┴────────┤
│                      │
├──────────────────────┤
```

`{} | explore` opens the help menu.

Both match the empty list behavior.

# Tests

I'm not sure how to test `explore`, as it waits for interaction.

Fix try not working with let, etc. (#13885)
# Description
Partialy addresses #13868. `try` does not catch non-zero exit code
errors from the last command in a pipeline if the result is assigned to
a variable using `let` (or `mut`).

This was fixed by adding a new `OutDest::Value` case. This is used when
the pipeline is in a "value" position. I.e., it will be collected into a
value. This ended up replacing most of the usages of `OutDest::Capture`.
So, this PR also renames `OutDest::Capture` to `OutDest::PipeSeparate`
to better fit the few remaining use cases for it.

# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix.

# Tests + Formatting
Added two tests.

Setup global cargo lint configuration (#13691)
# Description
`cargo` somewhat recently gained the capability to store `lints`
settings for the crate and workspace, that can override the defaults
from `rustc` and `clippy` lints. This means we can enforce some lints
without having to actively pass them to clippy via `cargo clippy -- -W
...`. So users just forking the repo have an easier time to follow
similar requirements like our CI.

## Limitation

An exception that remains is that those lints apply to both the primary
code base and the tests. Thus we can't include e.g. `unwrap_used`
without generating noise in the tests. Here the setup in the CI remains
the most helpful.

## Included lints

- Add `clippy::unchecked_duration_subtraction` (added by #12549)
# User-Facing Changes
Running `cargo clippy --workspace` should be closer to the CI. This has
benefits for editor configured runs of clippy and saves you from having
to use `toolkit` to be close to CI in more cases.

Change the usage misnomer to "description" (#13598)
# Description
    
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.

Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.

# User-Facing Changes

`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

Breaking change in the plugin protocol:

In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

Clean up key event handling (#13574)
# Description
Cleanups:
 - Add "key_press" to event reading function names to match reality
- Move the relevant comment about why only key press events are
interesting one layer up
 - Remove code duplication in handle_events
- Make `try_next` try harder (instead of bail on a boring event); I
think that was the original intention
- Remove recursion from `next` (I think that's clearer? but maybe just
what I'm used to)

Update config directly at assignment (#13332)
# Description

Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.

Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.

Closes #13324.

# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

Add and use new Signals struct (#13314)
# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.

explore: pass config to views at creation time (#13312)
cc: @zhiburt

This is an internal refactoring for `explore`.

Previously, views inside `explore` were created with default/incorrect
configuration and then the correct configuration was passed to them
using a function called `setup()`. I believe this was because
configuration was dynamic and could change while `explore` was running.

After https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10259, configuration can
no longer be changed on the fly. So we can clean this up by removing
`setup()` and passing configuration to views when they are created.

Limit drilling down inside explore (#13293)
This PR fixes an issue with `explore` where you can "drill down" into
the same value forever. For example:

1. Run `ls | explore`
2. Press Enter to enter cursor mode
3. Press Enter again to open the selected string in a new layer
4. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
5. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
6. Repeat and eventually you have a bajillion layers open with the same
string

IMO it only makes sense to "drill down" into lists and records.

In a separate commit I also did a little refactoring, cleaning up naming
and comments.

nu-explore: Add vertical lines && fix index/transpose issue (#13147)
Somehow I believe that split lines were implemented originally; (I
haven't got to find it though; from a quick look)
I mean a long time ago before a lot a changes were made.

Probably adding horizontal lines would make also some sense.

ref #13116
close #13140

Take care

________________

If `explore` is used, frequently, or planned to be so.
I guess it would be a good one to create a test suite for it; to not
break things occasionally 😅

I did approached it one time back then using `expectrl` (literally
`expect`), but there was some issues.
Maybe smth. did change.
Or some `clean` mode could be introduced for it, to being able to be
used by outer programs; to control `nu`.

Just thoughts here.

Could be improved further I guess; but not here;

You can test the speed differences using data from #13088

```nu
open data.db | get profiles | explore
```

address: #13062

1. Noticed that search does not work anymore (even on `main` branch).
2. Not sure about resolved merged conflicts, seems fine, but maybe
something was lost.

Overhaul explore config (#13075)
Configuration in `explore` has always been confusing to me. This PR
overhauls (and simplifies, I think) how configuration is done.

# Details

1. Configuration is now strongly typed. In `Explore::run()` we create an
`ExploreConfig` struct from the more general Nu configuration and
arguments to `explore`, then pass that struct to other parts of
`explore` that need configuration. IMO this is a lot easier to reason
about and trace than the previous approach of creating a
`HashMap<String, Value>` and then using that to make various structs
elsewhere.
2. We now inherit more configuration from the config used for regular Nu
tables
1. Border/line styling now uses the `separator` style used for regular
Nu tables, the special `explore.split_line` config point has been
retired.
2. Cell padding in tables is now controlled by `table.padding` instead
of the undocumented `column_padding_left`/`column_padding_right` config
3. The (optional, previously not enabled by default) `selected_row` and
`selected_column` configuration has been removed. We now only highlight
the selected cell. I could re-add this if people really like the feature
but I'm guessing nobody uses it.

The interface still looks the same with a default/empty config.nu:

Fix explore panic on empty lists (#13074)
This fixes up a panic I accidentally introduced when refactoring the
cursor code in `explore`: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12979

Under certain circumstances (running `:nu []`, opening `:try` with the
hidden `try.reactive` setting enabled), `explore` would panic when
handling an empty list. To fix this for now I've removed the validation
I added to the Cursor constructor in that PR.

Refactor explore cursor code (#12979)
`explore` has 3 cursor-related structs that are extensively used to
track the currently shown "window" of the data being shown. I was
finding the cursor code quite difficult to follow, so this PR:
- rewrites the base `Cursor` struct from scratch, with some tests
- makes big changes to `WindowCursor`
- renames `XYCursor` to `WindowCursor2D`
- makes some of the cursor functions fallible as a start towards better
error handling
- changes lots of function names to things that I find more intuitive
- adds comments, including ASCII diagrams to explain how the cursors
work

More work could be done (I'd like to review/change more function names
in `WindowCursor` and `WindowCursor2D` and add more tests), but this is
the limit of what I can get done in a weekend. I think this part of the
code is in a better place now.

# Testing performed

I did a lot of manual testing in the record view and binary viewer,
moving around with arrow keys / page up+down / home+end.

This can definitely wait until after the release freeze, this area has
very few automated tests and it'd be good to let the changes bake a bit.

Make LS_COLORS functionality faster in explore, especially on Windows (#12984)
Closes #12980. More context there, but basically `explore` was getting

explore refactoring+clarification (#12940)
Another very boring PR cleaning up and documenting some of `explore`'s
innards. Mostly renaming things that I found confusing or vague when
reading through the code, also adding some comments.

explore cleanup: remove+move binary viewer config (#12920)
Small change, removing 4 more configuration options from `explore`'s
binary viewer:

1. `show_index`
2. `show_data`
3. `show_ascii`
4. `show_split`

These controlled whether the 3 columns in the binary viewer (index, hex
data, ASCII) and the pipe separator (`|`) in between them are shown. I
don't think we need this level of configurability until the `explore`
command is more mature, and maybe even not then; we can just show them
all.

I think it's very unlikely that anyone is using these configuration
points.

Also, the row offset (e.g. how many rows we have scrolled down) was
being stored in config/settings when it's arguably not config; more like
internal state of the binary viewer. I moved it to a more appropriate
location and renamed it.

explore: consolidate padding config, handle ByteStream, tweak naming+comments (#12915)
Some minor changes to `explore`, continuing on my mission to simplify
the command in preparation for a larger UX overhaul:

1. Consolidate padding configuration. I don't think we need separate
config points for the (optional) index column and regular data columns
in the normal pager, they can share padding configuration. Likewise, in
the binary viewer all 3 columns (index, data, ASCII) had their
left+right padding configured independently.
2. Update `explore` so we use the binary viewer for the new `ByteStream`
type. `cat foo.txt | into binary | explore` was not using the binary
viewer after the `ByteStream` changes.
3. Tweak the naming of a few helper functions, add a comment

I've put the changes in separate commits to make them easier to review.

Replace ExternalStream with new ByteStream type (#12774)
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
    Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
    File(File),
    Child(ChildProcess),
}
```

This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.

Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
    Empty,
    Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```

The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.

This PR fixes #7017, fixes #10763, and fixes #12369.

This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |

# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.
