Fix $in in range expressions (#13447)
# Description

Fixes #13441.

I must have forgotten that `Expr::Range` can contain other expressions,
so I wasn't searching for `$in` to replace within it. Easy fix.

# User-Facing Changes
Bug fix, ranges like `6 | 3..$in` work as expected now.

# Tests + Formatting
Added regression test.

Overhaul $in expressions (#13357)
# Description

This grew quite a bit beyond its original scope, but I've tried to make
`$in` a bit more consistent and easier to work with.

Instead of the parser generating calls to `collect` and creating
closures, this adds `Expr::Collect` which just evaluates in the same
scope and doesn't require any closure.

When `$in` is detected in an expression, it is replaced with a new
variable (also called `$in`) and wrapped in `Expr::Collect`. During
eval, this expression is evaluated directly, with the input and with
that new variable set to the collected value.

Other than being faster and less prone to gotchas, it also makes it
possible to typecheck the output of an expression containing `$in`,
which is nice. This is a breaking change though, because of the lack of
the closure and because now typechecking will actually happen. Also, I
haven't attempted to typecheck the input yet.

The IR generated now just looks like this:

```gas
collect        %in
clone          %tmp, %in
store-variable $in, %tmp
# %out <- ...expression... <- %in
drop-variable  $in
```

(where `$in` is the local variable created for this collection, and not
`IN_VARIABLE_ID`)

which is a lot better than having to create a closure and call `collect
--keep-env`, dealing with all of the capture gathering and allocation
that entails. Ideally we can also detect whether that input is actually
needed, so maybe we don't have to clone, but I haven't tried to do that
yet. Theoretically now that the variable is a unique one every time, it
should be possible to give it a type - I just don't know how to
determine that yet.

On top of that, I've also reworked how `$in` works in pipeline-initial
position. Previously, it was a little bit inconsistent. For example,
this worked:

```nushell
> 3 | do { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }
3
3
```

However, this causes a runtime variable not found error on the second
`$in`:

```nushell
> def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
Error: nu:🐚:variable_not_found

  × Variable not found
   ╭─[entry #115:1:35]
 1 │ def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
   ·                                   ─┬─
   ·                                    ╰── variable not found
   ╰────
```

I've fixed this by making the first element `$in` detection *always*
happen at the block level, so if you use `$in` in pipeline-initial
position anywhere in a block, it will collect with an implicit
subexpression around the whole thing, and you can then use that `$in`
more than once. In doing this I also rewrote `parse_pipeline()` and
hopefully it's a bit more straightforward and possibly more efficient
too now.

Finally, I've tried to make `let` and `mut` a lot more straightforward
with how they handle the rest of the pipeline, and using a redirection
with `let`/`mut` now does what you'd expect if you assume that they
consume the whole pipeline - the redirection is just processed as
normal. These both work now:

```nushell
let x = ^foo err> err.txt
let y = ^foo out+err>| str length
```

It was previously possible to accomplish this with a subexpression, but
it just seemed like a weird gotcha that you couldn't do it. Intuitively,
`let` and `mut` just seem to take the whole line.

- closes #13137

# User-Facing Changes
- `$in` will behave more consistently with blocks and closures, since
the entire block is now just wrapped to handle it if it appears in the
first pipeline element
- `$in` no longer creates a closure, so what can be done within an
expression containing `$in` is less restrictive
- `$in` containing expressions are now type checked, rather than just
resulting in `any`. However, `$in` itself is still `any`, so this isn't
quite perfect yet
- Redirections are now allowed in `let` and `mut` and behave pretty much
how you'd expect

# Tests + Formatting
Added tests to cover the new behaviour.

Make get_full_help take &dyn Command (#12903)
# Description
Changes `get_full_help` to take a `&dyn Command` instead of multiple
arguments (`&Signature`, `&Examples` `is_parser_keyword`). All of these
arguments can be gathered from a `Command`, so there is no need to pass
the pieces to `get_full_help`.

This PR also fixes an issue where the search terms are not shown if
`--help` is used on a command.
