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

〉$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'dflts' | get signatures.0.any | reject short_flag description custom_completion

# 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 -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

FEATURE: print example command results in the help (#8189)
Should close #8035.

> **Note**

> - please require further changes if i did something wrong, i'm open to
any remark 😌

# Description
this PR adds, when it is defined in the `examples` method of the
`Command` implementations, the output of the examples to the output of
the `help` command.

this PR
- only modifies `crates/nu-engine/src/documentation.rs` and the
`get_documentation` function
- defines a new `WD` constant to print a **W**hite **D**immed `...`
- a `match` statement at the end of the example loop to
- print a white dimmed `...` when the example is not set, i.e. set to
`None` in the `examples` method of the `Command` implementation of a
command
- pretty print the output of the associated example `Value` when it has
been defined

> **Warning**
> LIMITATIONS:
> - i use snippets from `crates/nu-protocol/src/pipeline_data.rs`
> - the table creation from `pub PipelineData::print`, i.e. the `let
decl_id = ...;` and `let table = ...;` in the change
> - the table item printing from `PipelineData::write_all_and_flush`,
i.e. the `for item in table { ... }`
>
> ADDRESSED:
> - ~~the formatting of the output is not perfect and has to be fully
left aligned with the first column for now~~ (fixed with
[`5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e`..`a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63`](5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e..a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63))
> - ~~i'm using `.unwrap()` on both the changes above, not sure how to
handle this for now~~ (fixed for now thanks to 49f1dc080)
> - ~~the tests and `clippy` checks do not pass for now, see below~~
(`clippy` now is happy with 49f1dc080 and the tests pass with
11666bc715)

# User-Facing Changes
the output of the `help <command>` command is now augmented with the
outputs of the examples, when they are defined.
- `with-env`
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }
  my env value

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }
  Y

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }
  Z

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ Y │
  │ 1 │ Z │
  ╰───┴───╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
```
- `merge`
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )
  ╭───┬──────╮
  │ # │ name │
  ├───┼──────┤
  │ 1 │ a    │
  │ 2 │ b    │
  │ 3 │ c    │
  ╰───┴──────╯

  Merge two records
  > {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3}
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ a │ 1 │
  │ b │ 2 │
  │ c │ 3 │
  ╰───┴───╯

  Merge two tables, overwriting overlapping columns
  > [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}]
  ╭───┬─────────┬─────────╮
  │ # │ columnA │ columnB │
  ├───┼─────────┼─────────┤
  │ 0 │ A0*     │ B0      │
  ╰───┴─────────┴─────────╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )

  Merge two records
  > {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3}

  Merge two tables, overwriting overlapping columns
  > [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}]

Clean up keyword lines in help (#7243)
# Description

This makes the help messages cleaner for keyword-style arguments.

Before:
```
  (optional) else_expression <Keyword([101, 108, 115, 101], Expression)>: expression or block to run if check fails
```

Now:
```
  (optional) "else" + <expression>: expression or block to run if check fails
```
