Rename IoStream to OutDest (#12433)
# Description
I spent a while trying to come up with a good name for what is currently
`IoStream`. Looking back, this name is not the best, because it:
1. Implies that it is a stream, when it all it really does is specify
the output destination for a stream/pipeline.
2. Implies that it handles input and output, when it really only handles
output.

So, this PR renames `IoStream` to `OutDest` instead, which should be
more clear.

Add command_prelude module (#12291)
# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
    ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```

This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
    ast::{Call, CellPath},
    engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
    PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```

This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

IO and redirection overhaul (#11934)
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.

To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.

This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |

(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)

This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.

Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.

# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
  ```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.

  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
  ```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.

- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:

  1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
     ```
     a
     a
     ╭────────────╮
     │ empty list │
     ╰────────────╯
     ```
  2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │ 1 │ a │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```
  3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │   │   │
     │ 1 │ a │
     │   │   │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```

  But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
  ```
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ a │
  │ 1 │ a │
  ╰───┴───╯
  ```

- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.

- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
  ```nushell
  (nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
  ```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.

- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
  ```nushell
  (^echo a; ^echo b)
  ```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").

- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).

The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.

The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.

In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.

Try `help debug profile`.

## Screenshots

Basic output:

![profiler_new](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/418b9df0-b659-4dcb-b023-2d5fcef2c865)

To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):

![profiler_new_m3](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/636d756d-5d56-460c-a372-14716f65f37f)

## Benchmarks

### Binary size

Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_

### Time

```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```

```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```

`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.

`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.

## API changes

This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).

I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.

## TODO

- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

Name the Value conversion functions more clearly (#11851)
# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)

This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |

Turns out I didn't properly test the description menu in #11488,
apologies for that. It turns out that `NuHelpCompleter`, which provides
completions for the description/help menu, was treating the position it
was given as the start of the line rather than the start. Flipping that
appears to fix the issue.

I missed not only `NuHelpCompleter` but also `NuMenuCompleter` in my
previous PR. If the menu's source is a closure and it doesn't return a
record with the start and end, then `pos` is again treated as the start,
so I've changed that too. External completers shouldn't need changing.

Improve case insensitivity consistency (#10884)
# Description

Add an extension trait `IgnoreCaseExt` to nu_utils which adds some case
insensitivity helpers, and use them throughout nu to improve the
handling of case insensitivity. Proper case folding is done via unicase,
which is already a dependency via mime_guess from nu-command.

In actuality a lot of code still does `to_lowercase`, because unicase
only provides immediate comparison and doesn't expose a `to_folded_case`
yet. And since we do a lot of `contains`/`starts_with`/`ends_with`, it's
not sufficient to just have `eq_ignore_case`. But if we get access in
the future, this makes us ready to use it with a change in one place.

Plus, it's clearer what the purpose is at the call site to call
`to_folded_case` instead of `to_lowercase` if it's exclusively for the
purpose of case insensitive comparison, even if it just does
`to_lowercase` still.

# User-Facing Changes

- Some commands that were supposed to be case insensitive remained only
insensitive to ASCII case (a-z), and now are case insensitive w.r.t.
non-ASCII characters as well.

Add themes to help command when available #10318 (#10623)
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.

# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

Add functions for each Value case (#9736)
# Description
This PR ensures functions exist to extract and create each and every
`Value` case. It also renames `Value::boolean` to `Value::bool` to match
`Value::test_bool`, `Value::as_bool`, and `Value::Bool`. Similarly,
`Value::as_integer` was renamed to `Value::as_int` to be consistent with
`Value::int`, `Value::test_int`, and `Value::Int`. These two renames can
be undone if necessary.

# User-Facing Changes
No user facing changes, but two public functions were renamed which may
affect downstream dependents.

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.

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

Use variable names directly in the format strings (#7906)
# Description

Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`

More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)

Alternative to #7865

# User-Facing Changes

None intended

# Tests + Formatting

(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)

Reduced LOC by replacing several instances of Value::Int {}, Value::Float{}, Value::Bool {}, and Value::String {} with Value::int(), Value::float(), Value::boolean() and Value::string() (#7412)
# Description

While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
  val: a,
  span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.

# User-Facing Changes

Address lints from clippy for beta/nightly (#5709)
* Fix clippy lints in tests

* Replace `format!` in `.push_str()` with `write!`

Stylistically that might be a bit rough but elides an allocation.

Fallibility of allocation is more explicit, but ignored with `let _ =`
like in the clippy example:

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#format_push_string

* Remove unused lifetime

* Fix macro crate relative import

* Derive `Eq` for `PartialEq` with `Eq` members

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#derive_partial_eq_without_eq

* Remove unnnecessary `.to_string()` for Cow<str>

* Remove `.to_string()` for `tendril::Tendril`

Implements `Deref<Target = str>`
