Box ShellError in Value::Error (#8375)
# Description

Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of
136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct
also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements).

This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap.

Pro:
- Value now needs just 80 bytes
- Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines)

Con:
- More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error`
  - More heap fragmentation
  - Potential for additional required memcopies

# Further code changes

Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large
match.

# User-Facing Changes

None for regular users.

Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use
`nu-protocol`

Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads.
**Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume
of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many
values are held in memory.

Disable auto-benchmark harness for crates (#8057)
# Description

This disables automatic detection of `#[bench]` and other benchmarks
within the crates. Our benchmarks should all live in `benches`

This fixes a problem with criterion flags and should also reduce the
build requirements for `cargo bench` a bit

Taken from https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7952

Benchmark each pipeline element (#7854)
# Description

Adds a `profile` command that profiles each pipeline element of a block
and can also recursively step into child blocks.

# Limitations
* It is implemented using pipeline metadata which currently get lost in
some circumstances (e.g.,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/4501). This means that the
profiler will lose data coming from subexpressions. This issue will
hopefully be solved in the future.
* It also does not step into individual loop iteration which I'm not
sure why but maybe that's a good thing.

# User-Facing Changes

Shouldn't change any existing behavior.

Fix typos and use more idiomatic assertions (#7755)
I have changed `assert!(a == b)` calls to `assert_eq!(a, b)`, which give
better error messages. Similarly for `assert!(a != b)` and
`assert_ne!(a, b)`. Basically all instances were comparing primitives
(string slices or integers), so there is no loss of generality from
special-case macros,

I have also fixed a number of typos in comments, variable names, and a
few user-facing messages.

```

EDIT: This also changes the semantics of `get`/`select` `-i` somewhat.
I've decided to leave it like this because it works more intuitively
with `default` and `compact`.

```
〉[{a:1} {b:2} {a:3}] | select -i foo | to nuon
null
```
AFTER:
```
〉[{a:1} {b:2} {a:3}] | select -i foo | to nuon

# User-Facing Changes

Fix table expand wrap in case no header is there (#7605)
ref #7598

To be honest I was not able to obtain such results in basic mode as you
@rgwood.
But I've got it in `table -e`.

So this must fix the `table -e` wrapping.

explore tweaks Round 1 (#7511)
A few small tweaks to the new `explore` command:

1. Rewrote the help text a bit.
    1. I think it's important to mention `:try` up front.
2. Removed the info about `:help foo` because it's currently supported
by very few subcommands
2. Make `exit_esc` default to true. I want to avoid people getting stuck
in `explore` like they get stuck in Vim
3. ~~Always show the help message ("For help type :help") on startup~~
1. The message is small+unobtrusive and I don't this is worth a
configuration item
4. Exit the information view when Escape is pressed
5. General typo+grammar cleanup

color_config now accepts closures as color values (#7141)
# Description

Closes #6909. You can now add closures to your `color_config` themes.
Whenever a value would be printed with `table`, the closure is run with
the value piped-in. The closure must return either a {fg,bg,attr} record
or a color name (`'light_red'` etc.). This returned style is used to
colour the value.

This is entirely backwards-compatible with existing config.nu files.

Example code excerpt:
```
let my_theme = {
    header: green_bold
    bool: { if $in { 'light_cyan' } else { 'light_red' } }
    int: purple_bold
    filesize: { |e| if $e == 0b { 'gray' } else if $e < 1mb { 'purple_bold' } else { 'cyan_bold' } }
    duration: purple_bold
    date: { (date now) - $in | if $in > 1wk { 'cyan_bold' } else if $in > 1day { 'green_bold' } else { 'yellow_bold' } }
    range: yellow_bold
    string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }
    nothing: white
```
Example output with this in effect:

rs_-_nushell_-_VSCodium](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/83939/201952558-482de05d-69c7-4bf2-91fc-d0964bf71264.png)

Slightly important notes:

* Some color_config names, namely "separator", "empty" and "hints", pipe
in `null` instead of a value.
* Currently, doing anything non-trivial inside a closure has an
understandably big perf hit. I currently do not actually recommend
something like `string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' }
}` for serious work, mainly because of the abundance of string-type data
in the world. Nevertheless, lesser-used types like "date" and "duration"
work well with this.
* I had to do some reorganisation in order to make it possible to call
`eval_block()` that late in table rendering. I invented a new struct
called "StyleComputer" which holds the engine_state and stack of the
initial `table` command (implicit or explicit).
* StyleComputer has a `compute()` method which takes a color_config name
and a nu value, and always returns the correct Style, so you don't have
to worry about A) the color_config value was set at all, B) whether it
was set to a closure or not, or C) which default style to use in those
cases.
* Currently, errors encountered during execution of the closures are
thrown in the garbage. Any other ideas are welcome. (Nonetheless, errors
result in a huge perf hit when they are encountered. I think what should
be done is to assume something terrible happened to the user's config
and invalidate the StyleComputer for that `table` run, thus causing
subsequent output to just be Style::default().)
* More thorough tests are forthcoming - ran into some difficulty using
`nu!` to take an alternative config, and for some reason `let-env config
=` statements don't seem to work inside `nu!` pipelines(???)
* The default config.nu has not been updated to make use of this yet. Do
tell if you think I should incorporate that into this.

Reduced LOC by replacing several instances of Value::Int {}, Value::Float{}, Value::Bool {}, and Value::String {} with Value::int(), Value::float(), Value::boolean() and Value::string() (#7412)
# Description

While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
  val: a,
  span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.

Improve empty pipelines (#7383)

This fix changes pipelines to allow them to actually be empty. Mapping

# User-Facing Changes

See above.

# 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

[MVP][WIP] less like pager (#6984)
Run it as `explore`.

#### example

```nu
ls | explore
```

Configuration points in `config.nu` file.
```
  # A 'explore' utility config
   explore_config: {
     highlight: { bg: 'yellow', fg: 'black' }
     status_bar: { bg: '#C4C9C6', fg: '#1D1F21' }
     command_bar: { fg: '#C4C9C6' }
     split_line: '#404040'
     cursor: true
     # selected_column: 'blue'
     # selected_row: { fg: 'yellow', bg: '#C1C2A3' }
     # selected_cell: { fg: 'white', bg: '#777777' }
     # line_shift: false,
     # line_index: false,
     # line_head_top: false,
     # line_head_bottom: false,
   }
```

You can start without a pipeline and type `explore` and it'll give you a
few tips.

If you type `:help` you an see the help screen with some information on
what tui keybindings are available.

From the `:help` screen you can now hit `i` and that puts you in
`cursor` aka `inspection` mode and you can move the cursor left right up
down and it you put it on an area such as `[table 5 rows]` and hit the
enter key, you'll see something like this, which shows all the `:`
commands. If you hit `esc` it will take you to the previous screen.

If you then type `:try` you'll get this type of window where you can
type in the top portion and see results in the bottom.

The `:nu` command is interesting because you can type pipelines like
`:nu ls | sort-by type size` or another pipeline of your choosing such
as `:nu sys` and that will show the table that looks like this, which
we're calling "table mode".

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/343840/205090809-e686ff0f-6d0b-4347-8ed0-8c59adfbd741.png)

If you hit the `t` key it will now transpose the view to look like this.

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/343840/205090948-a834d7f2-1713-4dfe-92fe-5432f287df3d.png)

In table mode or transposed table mode you can use the `i` key to
inspect any collapsed field like `{record 8 fields}`, `[table 16 rows]`,
`[list x]`, etc.

One of the original benefits was that when you're in a view that has a
lot of columns, `explore` gives you the ability to scroll left, right,
up, and down.

`explore` is also smart enough to know when you're in table mode versus
preview mode. If you do `open Cargo.toml | explore` you get this.

If you type `open --raw Cargo.toml | explore` you get this where you can
scroll left, right, up, down. This is called preview mode.

When you're in table mode, you can also type `:preview`. So, with `open
--raw Cargo.toml | explore`, if you type `:preview`, it will look like
this.
