This improves incremental build time when working on what was previously
the root package. For example, previously all plugins would be rebuilt
with a change to `src/commands/classified/external.rs`, but now only
`nu-cli` will have to be rebuilt (and anything that depends on it).
In particular, one thing that we can't (properly) do before this commit
is consuming an infinite input stream. For example:
```
yes | grep y | head -n10
```
will give 10 "y"s in most shells, but blocks indefinitely in nu. This PR
resolves that by doing blocking I/O in threads, and reducing the `await`
calls we currently have in our pipeline code.
