Let with pipeline (#9589)
# Description

This changes the default behaviour of `let` to be able to take a
pipeline as its initial value.

For example:

```
> let x = "hello world" | str length
```

This is a change from the existing behaviour, where the right hand side
is assumed to be an expression. Pipelines are more general, and can be
more powerful.

My google foo is failing me, but this also fixes this issue:

```
let x = foo
```

Currently, this reads `foo` as a bareword that gets converted to a
string rather than running the `foo` command. In practice, this is
really annoying and is a really hard to spot bug in a script.

# User-Facing Changes

BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE

`let` gains the power to be assigned via a pipeline. However, this
changes the behaviour of `let x = foo` from assigning the string "foo"
to `$x` to being "run the command `foo` and give the result to `$x`"

disallow blocks as first-class values (#9587)
# Description

This PR disallows blocks as first-class values by removing the ability
to create them using the `block` syntax shape or type. Now, the parser
will only ever be able to create closures as first-class values.

This means that `{ 3 }` will always be treated as a closure, unless used
in the specifically supported use case of the literal being given as an
arg to `for`, `if` and other built-in block users.

Note: first-class value here means "value that can be passed into
commands and held in variables"

# User-Facing Changes

This may break some user scripts as `: block` is no longer allows as a
type annotation. Note: these cases were not actually supported before,
as, for example, passing a block that accessed a variable would have
errored when the block was later evaluated.

Closures do not have the restriction mentioned above and are the much
safer value to pass as first-class, so now they are the only block-like
value to be allowed to be passed.

remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574)
# Description

For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.

So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.

Before:

```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```

Now:

```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```

It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.

# User-Facing Changes

BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE

This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

Improve type hovers (#9515)
# Description

This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:

* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type

I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.

# User-Facing Changes

Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

Better error message if env var is used as var (#9522)
# Description

This PR improves the error message if an environment variable (that's
visible before the parser begins) is used in the form of `$PATH` instead
of `$env.PATH`.

Before:

```
Error: nu::parser::variable_not_found

  × Variable not found.
   ╭─[entry #31:1:1]
 1 │ echo $PATH
   ·      ──┬──
   ·        ╰── variable not found.
   ╰────
```

After:

```
Error: nu::parser::env_var_not_var

  × Use $env.PATH instead of $PATH.
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ echo $PATH
   ·      ──┬──
   ·        ╰── use $env.PATH instead of $PATH
   ╰────
```

revert: move to ahash (#9464)
This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391

We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.

The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.

Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.

Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.

# User-Facing Changes

Reverts the HashMap -> ahash change.

# Description
- fixes: #5517
- fixes: #9250

For the following commands:
```
ls
# | le
| length
```

I found that it generates a bad lite parsing result:
```
LiteBlock { 
    block: [
        LitePipeline { 
            commands: [
                Command(None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 138600, end: 138602 }] })
            ]
        },
        LitePipeline { 
            commands: [
                Command(Some(Span { start: 138610, end: 138611 }),
                LiteCommand { comments: [Span { start: 138603, end: 138609 }], parts: [Span { start: 138612, end: 138618 }] })
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

Which should contains only one `LitePipeline`, and the second
`LitePipeline` is generated because of `Eol` lex token:
```
[
    Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138600, end: 138602 } },
    Token { contents: Eol, span: Span { start: 138602, end: 138603 } },    // it generates the second LitePipeline
    Token { contents: Comment, span: Span { start: 138603, end: 138609 } },
    Token { contents: Pipe, span: Span { start: 138610, end: 138611 } },
    Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138612, end: 138618 } }
]
```

To fix the issue, I remove the `Eol` token when we meet `Comment` right
after `Eol`, then it will generate a good LiteBlock, and everything will
work fine.

### After the fix:
Token:
```
[
  Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138618, end: 138620 } },
  Token { contents: Comment, span: Span { start: 138622, end: 138628 } },
  Token { contents: Pipe, span: Span { start: 138629, end: 138630 } },
  Token { contents: Item, span: Span { start: 138631, end: 138637 } }
]
```

LiteBlock:
```
LiteBlock {
  block: [
    LitePipeline { 
      commands: [
        Command(
            None, 
            LiteCommand { 
                comments: [Span { start: 138622, end: 138628 }],
                parts: [Span { start: 138618, end: 138620 }] 
            }
        ),
        Command(
            Some(Span { start: 138629, end: 138630 }),
            LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 138631, end: 138637 }] })] }] }
```

allow empty string arguments (#9420)
# Description

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or now but I did it to fix #9418. It
allows you to pass empty string arguments like this.

file named foo.nu
```
def main [--arg: string = dog] {
  if ($arg | is-empty) {
    echo "empty string"
  } else {
   echo $arg
  }
}
```
`> nu foo.nu --arg ""`
or
`> nu foo.nu --arg=""`
this gives an error
`> nu foo.nu --arg`
this returns the default argument
`> nu foo.nu`

closes #9418

Cut down on unnecessary parsing for SyntaxShape::Any (#9280)
# Description

This removes some unnecessary SyntaxShapes when parsing a
SyntaxShape::Any. Recent updates to the parser look for `{` and then
handle the logic for that separately.

This may have a slight parser speedup.

improve parsing of values with units (#9190)
closes #9111 

# Description

this pr improves parsing of values with units (`filesizes`, `durations`
and any other **future values**) by:

1. allowing underscores in the value part
```nu
> 42kb          # okay
> 42_sec        # okay
> 1_000_000mib  # okay
> 69k_b         # not okay, underscores not allowed in the unit
```

2. improving error messages involving these values
```nu
> sleep 40-sec

# before
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[entry #42:1:1]
 1 │ sleep 40-sec
   ·       ──┬──
   ·         ╰── expected duration with valid units
   ╰────

# now
Error:
  × duration value must be a number
   ╭─[entry #41:1:1]
 1 │ sleep 40-sec
   ·       ─┬─
   ·        ╰── not a number
   ╰────
```

3. unifying parsing of these values. now all of these use one function

# User-Facing Changes

filesizes and durations can now have underscores for readability

Avoid blocking when o+e> redirects too much stderr message (#8784)
# Description

Fixes: #8565

Here is another pr #7240 tried to address the issue, but it works in a
wrong way.

After this change `o+e>` won't redirect all stdout message then stderr
message and it works more like how bash does.

# User-Facing Changes

For the given python code:
```python
# test.py
import sys

print('aa'*300, flush=True)
print('bb'*999999, file=sys.stderr, flush=True)
print('cc'*300, flush=True)
```

Running `python test.py out+err> a.txt` shoudn't hang nushell, and
`a.txt` keeps output in the same order

## About the change
The core idea is that when doing lite-parsing, introduce a new variant
`LiteElement::SameTargetRedirection` if we meet `out+err>` redirection
token(which is generated by lex function),

During converting from lite block to block,
LiteElement::SameTargetRedirection will be converted to
PipelineElement::SameTargetRedirection.

Then in the block eval process, if we get
PipelineElement::SameTargetRedirection, we'll invoke `run-external` with
`--redirect-combine` flag, then pipe the result into save command

## What happened internally?

Take the following command as example:
`^ls o+e> log.txt`

lex parsing result(`Tokens`) are not changed, but `LiteBlock` and
`Block` is changed after this pr.
### LiteBlock before
```rust
LiteBlock {
    block: [
        LitePipeline { commands: [
            Command(None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 39041, end: 39044 }] }),
            // actually the span of first Redirection is wrong too..
            Redirection(Span { start: 39058, end: 39062 }, StdoutAndStderr, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 39050, end: 39057 }] }),
        ]
    }]
}
```
### LiteBlock after
```rust
LiteBlock { 
    block: [
        LitePipeline {
            commands: [
                SameTargetRedirection {
                    cmd: (None, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 147945, end: 147948}]}),
                    redirection: (Span { start: 147949, end: 147957 }, LiteCommand { comments: [], parts: [Span { start: 147958, end: 147965 }]})
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```
### Block before
```rust
Pipeline {
    elements: [
        Expression(None, Expression {
            expr: ExternalCall(Expression { expr: String("ls"), span: Span { start: 39042, end: 39044 }, ty: String, custom_completion: None }, [], false),
            span: Span { start: 39041, end: 39044 },
            ty: Any, custom_completion: None 
        }),
        Redirection(Span { start: 39058, end: 39062 }, StdoutAndStderr, Expression { expr: String("out.txt"), span: Span { start: 39050, end: 39057 }, ty: String, custom_completion: None })] }
```
### Block after
```rust
Pipeline {
    elements: [
        SameTargetRedirection { 
            cmd: (None, Expression {
                expr: ExternalCall(Expression { expr: String("ls"), span: Span { start: 147946, end: 147948 }, ty: String, custom_completion: None}, [], false),
                span: Span { start: 147945, end: 147948},
                ty: Any, custom_completion: None
            }),
            redirection: (Span { start: 147949, end: 147957}, Expression {expr: String("log.txt"), span: Span { start: 147958, end: 147965 },ty: String,custom_completion: None}
        }
    ]
}
```

Change type of flag defaults to Option<Value> (#9085)
# Description
Follow-up of #8940. As @bobhy pointed out, it makes sense for the
behaviour of flags to match the one for positional arguments, where
default values are of type `Option<Value>` instead of
`Option<Expression>`.

# User-Facing Changes
The same ones from the original PR:
- Flag default values will now be parsed as constants.
- If the default value is not a constant, a parser error is displayed.

# Tests + Formatting

A [new
test](e34e2d35f4/src/tests/test_engine.rs (L338-L344))
has been added to verify the new restriction.

Add extern def which allows raw arguments (#8956)
# Description

Extends the `extern` syntax to allow commands that accept raw arguments.
This is mainly added to allow wrapper type scripts for external
commands.

This is an example on how this can be used:

```nushell
extern foo [...rest] { 
  print ($rest | str join ',' ) 
}
foo --bar baz -- -q -u -x
# => --bar,baz,--,-q,-u,-x
```

(It's only possible to accept a single ...varargs argument in the
signature)

# User-Facing Changes

No breaking changes, just extra possibilities.

# Tests + Formatting

Added a test for this new behaviour and ran the toolkit pr checker

# After Submitting

This is advanced functionality but it should be documented, I will open
a new PR on the book for that

allow records to have type annotations (#8914)
# Description
follow up to #8529
cleaned up version of #8892 

- the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [rec: record] {}
```
- you can now add type annotations for fields if you know
  them before hand
```nu
def okay [rec: record<name: string>] {}
```

- you can specify multiple fields
```nu
def okay [person: record<name: string age: int>] {}

# an optional comma is allowed
def okay [person: record<name: string, age: int>] {}
```

- if annotations are specified, any use of the command will be type
  checked against the specified type
```nu
def unwrap [result: record<ok: bool, value: any>] {}

unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}

# errors with

Error: nu::parser::type_mismatch

  × Type mismatch.
   ╭─[entry #4:1:1]
 1 │ unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}
   ·         ───────┬─────
   ·                    ╰── expected record<ok: bool, value: any>, found record<ok: int, value: string>
   ╰────
```
> here the error is in the `ok` field, since `any` is coerced into any
type
> as a result `unwrap {ok: true, value: "value"}` is okay

- the key must be a string, either quoted or unquoted
```nu
def err [rec: record<{}: list>] {}

# errors with
Error:
  × `record` type annotations key not string
   ╭─[entry #7:1:1]
 1 │ def unwrap [result: record<{}: bool, value: any>] {}
   ·                            ─┬
   ·                             ╰── must be a string
   ╰────
```

- a key doesn't have to have a type in which case it is assumed to be
`any`
```nu
def okay [person: record<name age>] {}

def okay [person: record<name: string age>] {}
```

- however, if you put a colon, you have to specify a type
```nu
def err [person: record<name: >] {}

# errors with
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[entry #12:1:1]
 1 │ def unwrap [res: record<name: >] { $res }
   ·                             ┬
   ·                             ╰── expected type after colon
   ╰────
```

# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGES]**
- this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Record` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the record expects, `SyntaxShape::Record(vec![])`
will suffice

Reuse the cached parse results of parsed files (#8949)
# Description

This does a lookup in the cache of parsed files to see if a span can be
found for a file that was previously loaded with the same contents, then
uses that span to find the parsed block for that file. The end result
should, in theory, be identical but doesn't require any reparsing or
creating new blocks/new definitions that aren't needed.

I was hoping to also see some startup time improvements, but I didn't
notice much there.

unify the *-BuiltinVar parser errors (#8944)
# Description

this pr condenses `MutBuiltinVar`, `LetBuiltinVar` and `ConstBuiltinVar`
into one error:
```nu
Error: nu::parser::name_is_builtin_var

  × `in` used as variable name.
   ╭─[entry #69:1:1]
 1 │ let in = 420
   ·     ─┬
   ·      ╰── already a builtin variable
   ╰────
  help: 'in' is the name of a builtin Nushell variable and cannot be used
        as a variable name
```

it also fixes this case which was previously not handled
```nu
let $nu = 420 # this variable would have been 'lost'
```

Hopefully speedup startup (#8913)
# Description

Trying a few different things to hopefully speedup startup a bit. I'm
seeing some improvement on my box for the profiles I have, but the data
I'm seeing is noisy.

- Remove allocations in a few places where we created vec's but could
use iterators
- Pre-allocate space for blocks based on the lite block
- Removed a few extra clones

Allow arguments for the last flag in short flag batch (#8808)
# Description
_Fixes #5923_

Currently `nushell` doesn't allow short flag batches to contain
arguments, despite this being a common pattern in commands like `git
commit -am 'My commit message'`. This PR relaxes this so that the last
flag in the batch can take an argument.

# User-Facing Changes
- `nu::parser::short_flag_arg_cant_take_arg` has been replaced by
`nu::parser::only_last_flag_in_batch_can_take_arg` and is displayed when
a flag other then the last in a short flag batch takes an argument.

# Tests + Formatting
- Both
[`test_parser.rs`](48af0ebc3c/crates/nu-parser/tests/test_parser.rs (L640-L704))
and
[`test_known_external.rs`](48af0ebc3c/src/tests/test_known_external.rs (L42-L61))
have been updated to test the new allowed and disallowed scenarios.
