Always load default env/config values (#14249)
# Release-Notes Short Description

* Nushell now always loads its internal `default_env.nu` before the user
`env.nu` is loaded, then loads the internal `default_config.nu` before
the user's `config.nu` is loaded. This allows for a simpler
user-configuration experience. The Configuration Chapter of the Book
will be updated soon with the new behavior.

# Description

Implements the main ideas in #13671 and a few more:

* Users can now specify only the environment and config options they
want to override in *their* `env.nu` and `config.nu`and yet still have
access to all of the defaults:
* `default_env.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `env.nu` is loaded.
* `default_config.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `config.nu` is loaded.
* No more 900+ line config out-of-the-box.
* Faster startup (again): ~40-45% improvement in launch time with a
default configuration.
* New keys that are added to the defaults in the future will
automatically be available to all users after updating Nushell. No need
to regenerate config to get the new defaults.
* It is now possible to have different internal defaults (which will be
used with `-c` and scripts) vs. REPL defaults. This would have solved
many of the user complaints about the [`display_errors`
implementation](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-09-17-nushell_0_98_0.html#non-zero-exit-codes-are-now-errors-toc).
* A basic "scaffold" `config.nu` and `env.nu` are created on first
launch (if the config directory isn't present).
* Improved "out-of-the-box" experience (OOBE) - No longer asks to create
the files; the minimal scaffolding will be automatically created. If
deleted, they will not be regenerated. This provides a better
"out-of-the-box" experience for the user as they no longer have to make
this decision (without much info on the pros or cons) when first
launching.
* <s>(New: 2024-11-07) Runs the env_conversions process after the
`default_env.nu` is loaded so that users can treat `Path`/`PATH` as
lists in their own config.</s>
* (New: 2024-11-08) Given the changes in #13802, `default_config.nu`
will be a minimal file to minimize load-times. This shaves another (on
my system) ~3ms off the base launch time.
* Related: Keybindings, menus, and hooks that are already internal
defaults are no longer duplicated in `$env.config`. The documentation
will be updated to cover these scenarios.
* (New: 2024-11-08) Move existing "full" `default_config.nu` to
`sample_config.nu` for short-term "documentation" purposes.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Move the `dark-theme` and `light-theme` to Standard
Library and demonstrate their use - Also improves startup times, but
we're reaching the limit of optimization.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Extensively documented/commented `sample_env.nu` and
`sample_config.nu`. These can be displayed in-shell using (for example)
`config nu --sample | nu-highlight | less -R`. Note: Much of this will
eventually be moved to or (some) duplicated in the Doc. But for now,
this some nice in-shell doc that replaces the older
"commented/documented default".
* (New: 2024-11-20) Runs the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` process (1) after the
`default_env.nu` (allows `PATH` to be used as a list in user's `env.nu`)
and (2) before `default_config.nu` is loaded (allows user's
`ENV_CONVERSIONS` from their `env.nu` to be used in their `config.nu`).
* <s>(New: 2024-11-20) The default `ENV_CONVERSIONS` is now an empty
record. The internal Rust code handles `PATH` (and variants) conversions
regardless of the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` variable. This shaves a *very* small
amount of time off the startup.</s> Reset - Looks like there might be a
bug in `nu-enginer::env::ensure_path()` on Windows that would need to be
fixed in order for this to work.

# User-Facing Changes

By default, you shouldn't see much, if any, change when running this
with your existing configuration.

To see the greatest benefit from these changes, you'll probably want to
start with a "fresh" config. This can be easily tested using something
like:

```nushell
let temp_home = (mktemp -d)
$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = $temp_home
$env.XDG_DATA_HOME = $temp_home
./target/release/nu
```

You should see a message where the (mostly empty) `env.nu` and
`config.nu` are created on first start. Defaults should be the same (or
similar to) those before the PR. Please let me know if you notice any
differences.

---

Users should now specify configuration in terms of overrides of each
setting. For instance, rather than modifying `history` settings in the
monolithic `config.nu`, the following is recommended in an updated
`config.nu`:

```nu
$env.config.history = {
  file_format: sqlite,
  sync_on_enter: true
  isolation: true
  max_size: 1_000_000
}
```

or even just:

```nu
$env.config.history.file_format = sqlite
$env.config.history.isolation: true
$env.config.history.max_size = 1_000_000
```

Note: It seems many users are already appending a `source my_config.nu`
(or similar pattern) to the end of the existing `config.nu` to make
updates easier. In this case, they will likely want to remove all of the
previous defaults and just move their `my_config.nu` to `config.nu`.

Note: It should be unlikely that there are any breaking changes here,
but there's a slim chance that some code, somewhere, *expects* an
absence of certain config values. Otherwise, all config values are
available before and after this change.

Refactor config updates (#13802)
# Description
This PR standardizes updates to the config through a new
`UpdateFromValue` trait. For now, this trait is private in case we need
to make changes to it.

Note that this PR adds some additional `ShellError` cases to create
standard error messages for config errors. A follow-up PR will move
usages of the old error cases to these new ones. This PR also uses
`Type::custom` in lots of places (e.g., for string enums). Not sure if
this is something we want to encourage.

Should be none.

Refactor and fix Config<->Value mechanism (#10896)
# Description
Our config exists both as a `Config` struct for internal consumption and
as a `Value`. The latter is exposed through `$env.config` and can be
both set and read.
Thus we have a complex bug-prone mechanism, that reads a `Value` and
then tries to plug anything where the value is unrepresentable in
`Config` with the correct state from `Config`.

The parsing involves therefore mutation of the `Value` in a nested
`Record` structure. Previously this was wholy done manually, with
indices.
To enable deletion for example, things had to be iterated over from the
back. Also things were indexed in a bunch of places. This was hard to
read and an invitation for bugs.

With #10876 we can now use `Record::retain_mut` to traverse the records,
modify anything that needs fixing, and drop invalid fields.

# Parts:

- Error messages now consistently use the correct spans pointing to the
problematic value and the paths displayed in some messages are also
aligned with the keys used for lookup.
- Reconstruction of values has been fixed for:
	- `table.padding`
	- `buffer_editor`
	- `hooks.command_not_found`
	- `datetime_format` (partial solution)
- Fix validation of `table.padding` input so value is not set (and
underflows `usize` causing `table` to run forever with negative values)
- New proper types for settings. Fully validated enums instead of
strings:
  - `config.edit_mode` -> `EditMode` 
  	- Don't fall back to vi-mode on invalid string
  - `config.table.mode` -> `TableMode`
- there is still a fall back to `rounded` if given an invalid
`TableMode` as argument to the `nu` binary
  - `config.completions.algorithm` -> `CompletionAlgorithm`
  - `config.error_style` -> `ErrorStyle`
    - don't implicitly fall back to `fancy` when given an invalid value.
- This should also shrink the size of `Config` as instead of 4x24 bytes
those fields now need only 4x1 bytes in `Config`
- Completely removed macros relying on the scope of `Value::into_config`
so we can break it up into smaller parts in the future.
- Factored everything into smaller files with the types and helpers for
particular topics.
- `NuCursorShape` now explicitly expresses the `Inherit` setting.
conversion to option only happens at the interface to `reedline`

Clean up tests containing unnecessary cwd: tokens (#9692)
# 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).

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"`.

$env.config now always holds a record with only valid values (#7309)
# 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
