# Description
The working directory doesn't have to be set for those tests (or would
be the default anyways). When appropriate also remove calls to the
`pipeline()` function. In most places kept the diff minimal and only
removed the superfluous part to not pollute the blame view. With simpler
tests also simplified things to make them more readable overall (this
included removal of the raw string literal).
Work for #8670
# 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.

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

# Description
Closes#7059. Rather than generate a new Record each time $env.config is
accessed (as described in that issue), instead `$env.config = ` now A)
parses the input record, then B) un-parses it into a clean Record with
only the valid values, and stores that as an env-var. The reasoning for
this is that I believe `config_to_nu_record()` (the method that performs
step B) will be useful in later PRs. (See below)
As a result, this also "fixes" the following "bug":
```
〉$env.config = 'butts'
$env.config is not a record
〉$env.config
butts
```
~~Instead, `$env.config = 'butts'` now turns `$env.config` into the
default (not the default config.nu, but `Config::default()`, which
notably has empty keybindings, color_config, menus and hooks vecs).~~
This doesn't attempt to fix#7110. cc @Kangaxx-0
