Remove broken compile-time overload system (#9677)
# Description

This PR removes the compile-time overload system. Unfortunately, this
system never worked correctly because in a gradual type system where
types can be `Any`, you don't have enough information to correctly
resolve function calls with overloads. These resolutions must be done at
runtime, if they're supported.

That said, there's a bit of work that needs to go into resolving
input/output types (here overloads do not execute separate commands, but
the same command and each overload explains how each output type
corresponds to input types).

This PR also removes the type scope, which would give incorrect answers
in cases where multiple subexpressions were used in a pipeline.

# User-Facing Changes

Finishes removing compile-time overloads. These were only used in a few
places in the code base, but it's possible it may impact user code. I'll
mark this as breaking change so we can review.

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"`.

split $nu variable into scope commands and simpler $nu (#9487)
# Description

This splits off `scope` from `$nu`, creating a set of `scope` commands
for the various types of scope you might be interested in.

This also simplifies the `$nu` variable a bit.

# User-Facing Changes

This changes `$nu` to be a bit simpler and introduces a set of `scope`
subcommands.

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.

allow paths to have brackets (#9416)
# Description

This PR is trying to allow you to have `[blah]` in your path and yet
still have `ls` work. This is done by trying to separate the path from
the pattern to be searched for. It may still need more work.

I've tested it with:
- mkdir "[test]"
- cd "[test]"
- ls

Related to #9307 
Hopefully fixes #9232

Feature: Userland LazyRecords (#8332)
# Description
Despite the innocent-looking title, this PR involves quite a few backend
changes as the existing LazyRecord trait was not at all friendly towards
the idea of these values being generated on the fly from Nu code.

In particular, here are a few changes involved:
- The LazyRecord trait now involves a lifetime `'a`, and this lifetime
is used in the return value of `get_column_names`. This means it no
longer returns `'static str`s (but implementations still can return
these). This is more stringent on the consumption side.
- The LazyRecord trait now must be able to clone itself via a new
`clone_value` method (as requiring `Clone` is not object safe). This
pattern is borrowed from `Value::CustomValue`.
- LazyRecord no longer requires being serde serializable and
deserializable.

These, in hand, allow for the following:
- LazyRecord can now clone itself, which means that they don't have to
be collected into a Record when being cloned.
- This is especially useful in Stack, which is cloned on each repl line
and in a few other cases. This would mean that _every_ LazyRecord
instance stored in a variable would be collected in its entirety and
cloned, which can be catastrophic for performance. See: `let nulol =
$nu`.
- LazyRecord's columns don't have to be static, they can have the same
lifetime of the struct itself, so different instances of the same
LazyRecord type can have different columns and values (like the new
`NuLazyRecord`)
- Serialization and deserialization are no longer meaningless, they are
simply less.

I would consider this PR very "drafty", but everything works. It
probably requires some cleanup and testing, though, but I'd like some
eyes and pointers first.

# User-Facing Changes
New command. New restrictions are largely internal. Maybe there are some
plugins affected?

Example of new command's usage:
```
lazy make --columns [a b c] --get-value { |name| print $"getting ($name)"; $name | str upcase }
```

You can also trivially implement something like `lazy make record` to
take a record of closures and turn it into a getter-like lazy struct:
```
def "lazy make record" [
    record: record
] {
    let columns = ($record | columns)

    lazy make --columns $columns --get-value { |col| do ($record | get $col) }
}
```

Open to bikeshedding. `lazy make` is similar to `error make` which is
also in the core commands. I didn't like `make lazy` since it sounded
like some transformation was going on.

# Tour for reviewers
Take a look at LazyMake's examples. They have `None` as the results, as
such they aren't _really_ correct and aren't being tested at all. I
didn't do this because creating the Value::LazyRecord is a little tricky
and didn't want to risk messing it up, especially as the necessary
variables aren't available when creating the examples (like stack and
engine state).

Also take a look at NuLazyRecord's get_value implementation, or in
general. It uses an Arc<Mutex<_>> for the stack, which must be accessed
mutably for eval_block but get_value only provides us with a `&self`.
This is a sad state of affairs, but I don't know if there's a better
way.

On the same code path, we also have pipeline handling, and any pipeline
that isn't a Pipeline::Value will return Value::nothing. I believe
returning a Value::Error is probably better, or maybe some other
handling. Couldn't decide on which ShellError to settle with for that
branch.

The "unfortunate casualty" in the columns.rs file. I'm not sure just how
bad that is, though, I simply had to fight a little with the borrow
checker.

A few leftover comments like derives, comments about the now
non-existing serde requirements, and impls. I'll definitely get around
to those eventually but they're in atm

Should NuLazyRecord implement caching? I'm leaning heavily towards
**yes**, this was one of the main reasons not to use a record of
closures (besides convenience), but maybe it could be opt-out. I'd
wonder about its implementation too, but a simple way would be to move a
HashMap into the mutex state and keep cached values there.

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

    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}
        }

Parameter defaults to $nu.scope.commands (#9152)
(*third* try at posting this PR, #9104, like #9084, got polluted with
unrelated commits. I'm never going to pull from the github feature
branch again!)

# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.

Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.

I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.

Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu 
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
    arg1: string        # mandatory positional
    arg2:string=abc     # optional positional
    --switch            # no default here
    --named:int         # named flag, no default
    --other:string=def  # flag 
    --hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
            = {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
    arg2: $arg2,
    switch: $switch,
    named: $named,
    other: $other,
    hard: $hard, }
}

〉use ~/work/dflts.nu

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.

Bump tabled dependency to 0.11 (#8922)
close? #8060

Quite a bit of refactoring took place.
I believe a few improvements to collapse/expand were made.

I've tried to track any performance regressions and seems like it is
fine.

I've noticed something different now with default configuration path or
something in this regard?
So I might missed something while testing because of this.

Requires some oversight.

allow custom commands to show up in $nu.scope.commands better (#8910)
# Description
This PR allows our custom commands to show up in `$nu.scope.commands`
better. It still needs work because this PR hard code the input and
output types as `Type::Any` but the reason they're being missed in the
first place is that they are not assigned an input and output type.

This allows things like this now. Note the `where is_custom == true`

auto-expand paths in the $nu variable (#8653)
# Description

I recently ran into an issue where one of the $nu paths was not expanded
and was causing issue because $env.PWD did not equal $nu.temp-path, even
though I was in $nu.temp-path. The reason it didn't match was because my
temp path was symlinked. This PR fixes that issue by expanding the paths
with canonicalize_with().

Move variables to var stack (#8604)
# Description

This moves the representation of variables on the stack to a Vec, which
more closely resembles a stack. For small numbers of variables live at
any one point, this tends to be more efficient than a HashMap. Having a
stack-like vector also allows us to remember a stack position,
temporarily push variables on, then quickly drop the stack back to the
original size when we're done. We'll need this capability to allow
matching inside of conditions.

On this mac, a simple run of:

`timeit { mut x = 1; while $x < 1000000 { $x += 1 } }`

Went from 1 sec 86 ms, down to 1 sec 2 ms. Clearly, we have a lot more
ground we can make up in looping speed 😅 but it's nice that for fixing
this to make matching easier, we also get a win in terms of lookup speed
for small numbers of variables.

Add pattern matching (#8590)
# Description

This adds `match` and basic pattern matching.

An example:

```
match $x {
  1..10 => { print "Value is between 1 and 10" }
  { foo: $bar } => { print $"Value has a 'foo' field with value ($bar)" }
  [$a, $b] => { print $"Value is a list with two items: ($a) and ($b)" }
  _ => { print "Value is none of the above" }
}
```

Like the recent changes to `if` to allow it to be used as an expression,
`match` can also be used as an expression. This allows you to assign the
result to a variable, eg) `let xyz = match ...`

I've also included a short-hand pattern for matching records, as I think
it might help when doing a lot of record patterns: `{$foo}` which is
equivalent to `{foo: $foo}`.

There are still missing components, so consider this the first step in
full pattern matching support. Currently missing:
* Patterns for strings
* Or-patterns (like the `|` in Rust)
* Patterns for tables (unclear how we want to match a table, so it'll
need some design)
* Patterns for binary values
* And much more

Ls symlink fix (#8276)
# Description

Fixes #6706.

I took a look at this issue and it seems that the issue is because the
path is canonicalized and thus derives to the target. I've tested it
locally by checking if the path is a symlink and acting accordingly to
not canonicalize it and it seems fine.

In current release if the target is deleted but the symlink remains and
one `ls`'s it, it throws a `directory not found` error. But with the fix
it still shows the symlink (with red background, indicating missing
target).

The change I've applied only triggers when `ls` is done on a symlink, on
all other counts it should basically do the same as before.

Revert "Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const" (#8501)
Reverts nushell/nushell#8310

In anticipation that we may want to revert this PR. I'm starting the
process because of this issue.

This stopped working
```
let-env NU_LIB_DIRS = [
    ($nu.config-path | path dirname | path join 'scripts')
    'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
    ($nu.config-path | path dirname)
]
```
You have to do this now instead.
```
const NU_LIB_DIRS = [
    'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell\scripts'
    'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
    'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell'
]
```

In talking with @kubouch, he was saying that the `let-env` version
should keep working. Hopefully it's a small change.

Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const (#8310)
# Description

Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const they can be updated within the
same parse pass. This will allow us to remove having multiple config
files eventually.

Small implementation detail: I've changed `call.parser_info` to a
hashmap with string keys, so the information can have names rather than
indices, and we don't have to worry too much about the order in which we
put things into it.

Closes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8422

# User-Facing Changes

In a single file, users can now do stuff like
```
const NU_LIBS_DIR = ['/some/path/here']
source script.nu
```
and the source statement will use the value of NU_LIBS_DIR declared the
line before.

Currently, if there is no `NU_LIBS_DIR` const, then we fallback to using
the value of the `NU_LIBS_DIR` env-var, so there are no breaking changes
(unless someone named a const NU_LIBS_DIR for some reason).

Disable pipeline echo (#8292)
# Description

Change behavior of block evaluation to not print result of intermediate
commands.
Previously result of every but last pipeline in a block was printed to
stdout, and last one was returned

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222550110-3f62fbed-432c-4b46-b9b1-4cb45a1f893e.png)
With this change results of intermediate pipelines are discarded after
they finish and the last one is returned as before:

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222550346-f1e74f80-f6b6-4aa3-98d6-888ea4cb4915.png)
Now one should use `print` explicitly to print something to stdout

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222923955-fda0d77b-41b4-4f91-a80f-12b0a1880c05.png)

**Note, that this behavior is not limited to functions!** The scope of
this change are all blocks. All of the below are executed as blocks and
thus exibited this behavior in the same way:

With this change outputs for all types of blocks are cleaned:

Optional members in cell paths: Attempt 2 (#8379)
This is a follow up from https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7540.
Please provide feedback if you have the time!

## Summary

This PR lets you use `?` to indicate that a member in a cell path is
optional and Nushell should return `null` if that member cannot be
accessed.

Unlike the previous PR, `?` is now a _postfix_ modifier for cell path
members. A cell path of `.foo?.bar` means that `foo` is optional and
`bar` is not.

`?` does _not_ suppress all errors; it is intended to help in situations
where data has "holes", i.e. the data types are correct but something is
missing. Type mismatches (like trying to do a string path access on a
date) will still fail.

### Record Examples

```bash

{ foo: 123 }.foo # returns 123

{ foo: 123 }.bar # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar? # returns null

{ foo: 123 } | get bar # errors
{ foo: 123 } | get bar? # returns null

{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz # errors because `baz` is not present on the result from `bar?`
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz? # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz? # returns null
```

### List Examples
```

╭───┬─────╮
│ # │ foo │
├───┼─────┤
│ 0 │   1 │
╰───┴─────╯
```

# Breaking changes

1. Column names with `?` in them now need to be quoted.
2. The `-i`/`--ignore-errors` flag has been removed from `get` and
`select`
1. After this PR, most `get` error handling can be done with `?` and/or
`try`/`catch`.
4. Cell path accesses like this no longer work without a `?`:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b.0
2
```
We had some clever code that was able to recognize that since we only
want row `0`, it's OK if other rows are missing column `b`. I removed
that because it's tricky to maintain, and now that query needs to be
written like:


```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b?.0
2
```

I think the regression is acceptable for now. I plan to do more work in
the future to enable streaming of cell path accesses, and when that
happens I'll be able to make `.b.0` work again.
