Make the --no-newline test use --no-config-file as well (#14654)
Just a quick change: the test I made for `--no-newline` was missing
`--no-config-file`, so it could false-negative if you have problems with
your config.

Remove long-unused autoenv tests (#14436)
# Description

The `.nu-env` file feature was removed some time ago (probably in the
engine-q upgrade?). The tests, however, still remained as dead-code, so
this is just some basic clean-up.

If this feature was ever implemented again, the tests would need to be
rewritten anyway due to the changes in the way config is handled.

Add proper config defaults for hooks (#14341)
# Release Notes Excerpt

* Hooks now default to an empty value of the proper type (e.g., `[]` or
`{}`) when not otherwise specified

# Description

```nushell
# Start with no config
nu -n
# Populate with defaults
$env.config = {}
$env.config.hooks
```

* Before: All hooks other than `display_output` were set to `null`.
Attempting to append a hook using `++=` would fail unless it had already
been assigned.
* After:
* `pre_prompt`, `pre_execution`, and `command_not_found` are set to
empty lists. This allows the user to simply append new hooks using
`++=`.
* `env_change` is set to an empty record. This allows the user to add
new hooks using `merge`, although a "helper" command would still be
useful (TODO: stdlib).

Also fixed a typo in an error message.

# User-Facing Changes

There shouldn't be any breaking changes since (before) there were no
guarantees of the hook's value/type. Previously, users would have to
check for `null` and `default` to an empty list before appending. Any
user-strategies for dealing with the problem should continue to work
after this change.

# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

Note that, for reasons I cannot ascertain, this PR appears to have
*fixed* the `command_not_found_error_recognizes_non_executable_file`
test that was previously broken by #12953. That PR essentially rewrote
the test to match the new behavior, but it no longer tested what it was
intended to test.

Now, the test is working again as designed (and as it works in the
REPL).

# After Submitting

This will be covered in the Configuration update for #14249. This PR
will simplify several examples in the doc.

don't run subcommand if it's surrounded with backtick quote (#14210)
# Description
Fixes: #14202
After looking into the issue, I think #13910 it's not good to cut the
span if it's in external argument.
This pr is somehow revert the change, and fix
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13431 in another way.

It introduce a new state named `State::BackTickQuote`, so if an external
arg include backtick quote, it enters the state, so backtick quote won't
be the body of a string.

# User-Facing Changes
### Before
```nushell
> ^echo `(echo aa)`
aa
> ^echo `"aa"`   # maybe it's not right to remove the inner quote.
aa
```
### After

(echo aa)
> ^echo `"aa"`    # inner quote is keeped if there are backtick quote outside.
"aa"

Improves startup time when using std-lib (#13842)
Updated summary for commit
[612e0e2](612e0e2160)
- While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core
information is summarized here.

# Description

This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a
single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and
`pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are
parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than
60%.

At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every
addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time.
With this change, we should once again be able to allow new
functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting
`nu` startup times.

# User-Facing Changes

* Nushell now starts about 60% faster
* Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning
message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along
with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message)
* The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but
should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and
all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to
*just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional).
The slash is important. This will be documented.
* `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but
still incurs the full loading-time.
* `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the
`show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack
functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted
by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same.

* Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only
impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library
has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and
technically, this would have been the correct way to do it):

  ```nu
  use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std
  ```

  The path is now simply `std/`:

  ```nu
  use std
  ```

  All submodules have moved accordingly.
  

# Timings

Comparisons below were made:

* In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME =
(mktemp -d)`.
* `nu` was run with a release build
* `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files
- Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt
* The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing
samples

(Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of
being accurate)

| Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` |
| --- | --- |
| 0.97.2
([aaaab8e](aaaab8e070))
Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms |
| This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms |
| This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release |
8ms - <10ms |
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms |
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms
|
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` |
1ms - 1.5ms |

*These last two timings point to the opportunity for further
optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).*

# Implementation details for future maintenance

* `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses
and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use
std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the
submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands.

* From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was
used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a
`./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be
an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative
module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases
the *internal* `std` still took precedence.

* By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without
requiring that it already be parsed and in scope.

* In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells)
functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's
better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it.
The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) -
The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users
may want to map these to something else.
  
For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still
autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a
deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward.

To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the
`dirs` module.

* Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is
now the replacement for `dirs show`

* Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu`
* The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than
re-importing it.

* A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or
a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work
on all platforms.

# Performance side-notes:

* Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even
further.
* While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable
on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS
platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in
performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions
frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended
to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms.

# Tests + Formatting

* All tests are green

* Updated tests:
- Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we
don't).
- Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu`
functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`.
- Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was
(even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests.
- Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use
std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`)
- Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so
improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope
bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being
inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub
CI environment. These tests have also been fixed.

 * Added additional tests for the changes

Set current working directory at startup (#12953)
This PR sets the current working directory to the location of the
Nushell executable at startup, using `std::env::set_current_dir()`. This
is desirable because after PR
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12922, we no longer change our
current working directory even after `cd` is executed, and some OS might
lock the directory where Nushell started.

The location of the Nushell executable is chosen because it cannot be
removed while Nushell is running anyways, so we don't have to worry
about OS locking it.

This PR has the side effect that it breaks buggy command even harder.
I'll keep this PR as a draft until these commands are fixed, but it
might be helpful to pull this PR if you're working on fixing one of
those bugs.

Error on non-zero exit statuses (#13515)
# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```

Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │  │
│ 1 │  │
╰───┴──╯
```

Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input

  × Eval block failed with pipeline input
   ╭─[entry #1:1:2]
 1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
   ·  ┬
   ·  ╰── source value
   ╰────

Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code

  × External command had a non-zero exit code
   ╭─[entry #1:1:17]
 1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
   ·                 ──┬──
   ·                   ╰── exited with code 1
   ╰────
```

This PR fixes #12874, fixes #5960, fixes #10856, and fixes #5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes #8569).

# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).

# Tests
Added a few tests.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).

Currently the parser and the documentation generation use the signature
of the command, which means that it doesn't pick up on the changed name
of the `main` block, and therefore shows the name of the command as
"main" and doesn't find the subcommands. This PR changes the
aforementioned places to use the block signature to fix these issues.
This closes #13397. Incidentally it also causes input/output types to be
shown in the help, which is kinda pointless for scripts since they don't
operate on structured data but maybe not worth the effort to remove.

Make error-message more helpful when user invokes a non-executable file (#13589)
# Description

Fixes Issue #13477 
This adds a check to see if a user is trying to invoke a
(non-executable) file as a command and returns a helpful error if so.
EDIT: this will not work on Windows, and is arguably not relevant there,
because of the different semantics of executables. I think the
equivalent on Windows would be if a user tries to invoke `./foo`, we
should look for `foo.exe` or `foo.bat` in the directory and recommend
that if it exists.

# User-Facing Changes

When a user invokes an unrecognized command that is the path to an
existing file, the error used to say:
`{name} is neither a Nushell built-in or a known external command` 
This PR proposes to change the message to:
`{name} refers to a file that is not executable. Did you forget to to
set execute permissions?`

# Tests + Formatting
Ran cargo fmt, clippy and test on the workspace. 
EDIT: added test asserting the new behavior

IR: fix incorrect capturing of subexpressions (#13467)
# Description


[Discovered](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/614593951969574961/1266503282554179604)
by `@warp` on Discord.

The IR compiler was not properly setting redirect modes for
subexpressions because `FullCellPath` was always being compiled with
capture-out redirection. This is the correct behavior if there is a tail
to the `FullCellPath`, as we need the value in order to try to extract
anything from it (although this is unlikely to work) - however, the
parser also generates `FullCellPath`s with an empty tail quite often,
including for bare subexpressions.

Because of this, the following did not behave as expected:

```nushell
(docker run -it --rm alpine)
```

Capturing the output meant that `docker` didn't have direct access to
the terminal as a TTY.

As this is a minor bug fix, it should be okay to include in the 0.96.1
patch release.

# User-Facing Changes

- Fixes the bug as described when running with IR evaluation enabled.

# Tests + Formatting

I added a test for this, though we're not currently running all tests
with IR on the CI, but it should ensure this behaviour is consistent.
The equivalent minimum repro I could find was:

```nushell
(nu --testbin cococo); null
```

as this should cause the `cococo` message to appear on stdout, and if
Nushell is capturing the output, it would be discarded instead.

Make pipe redirections consistent, add err>| etc. forms (#13334)
# Description

Fixes the lexer to recognize `out>|`, `err>|`, `out+err>|`, etc.

Previously only the short-style forms were recognized, which was
inconsistent with normal file redirections.

I also integrated it all more into the normal lex path by checking `|`
in a special way, which should be more performant and consistent, and
cleans up the code a bunch.

Closes #13331.

# User-Facing Changes
- Adds `out>|` (error), `err>|`, `out+err>|`, `err+out>|` as recognized
forms of the pipe redirection.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing. Added tests for the new forms.

Removes the `which-support` cargo feature and makes all of its

run_external: remove inner quotes once nushell gets = sign (#13073)
# Description
Fixes: #13066

nushell should remove argument values' inner quote once it gets `=`.
Whatever it's a flag or not, and it also replace from `\"` to `"` before
passing it to external commands.

# User-Facing Changes
Given the shell script:
```shell
# test.sh
echo $@
```
## Before
```
>  sh test.sh -ldflags="-s -w" github.com
-ldflags="-s -w" github.com
> sh test.sh exp='-s -w' github.com
exp='-s -w' github.com
```
## After
```
>  sh test.sh -ldflags="-s -w" github.com
-ldflags=-s -w github.com
> sh test.sh exp='-s -w' github.com
exp=-s -w github.com
```

Rewrite run_external.rs (#12921)
This PR is a complete rewrite of `run_external.rs`. The main goal of the
rewrite is improving readability, but it also fixes some bugs related to
argument handling and the PATH variable (fixes
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6011).

I'll discuss some technical details to make reviewing easier.

## Argument handling

Quoting arguments for external commands is hard. Like, *really* hard.
We've had more than a dozen issues and PRs dedicated to quoting
arguments (see Appendix) but the current implementation is still buggy.

Here's a demonstration of the buggy behavior:

```nu
let foo = "'bar'"
^touch $foo            # This creates a file named `bar`, but it should be `'bar'`
^touch ...[ "'bar'" ]  # Same
```

I'll describe how this PR deals with argument handling.

First, we'll introduce the concept of **bare strings**. Bare strings are
**string literals** that are either **unquoted** or **quoted by
backticks** [^1]. Strings within a list literal are NOT considered bare
strings, even if they are unquoted or quoted by backticks.

When a bare string is used as an argument to external process, we need
to perform tilde-expansion, glob-expansion, and inner-quotes-removal, in
that order. "Inner-quotes-removal" means transforming from
`--option="value"` into `--option=value`.

## `.bat` files and CMD built-ins

On Windows, `.bat` files and `.cmd` files are considered executable, but
they need `CMD.exe` as the interpreter. The Rust standard library
supports running `.bat` files directly and will spawn `CMD.exe` under
the hood (see
[documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/index.html#windows-argument-splitting)).
However, other extensions are not supported [^2].

Nushell also supports a selected number of CMD built-ins. The problem
with CMD is that it uses a different set of quoting rules. Correctly
quoting for CMD requires using
[Command::raw_arg()](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/windows/process/trait.CommandExt.html#tymethod.raw_arg)
and manually quoting CMD special characters, on top of quoting from the
Nushell side. ~~I decided that this is too complex and chose to reject
special characters in CMD built-ins instead [^3]. Hopefully this will
not affact real-world use cases.~~ I've implemented escaping that works
reasonably well.

## `which-support` feature

The `which` crate is now a hard dependency of `nu-command`, making the
`which-support` feature essentially useless. The `which` crate is
already a hard dependency of `nu-cli`, and we should consider removing
the `which-support` feature entirely.

## Appendix

Here's a list of quoting-related issues and PRs in rough chronological
order.

[^1]: The idea that backtick-quoted strings act like bare strings was
introduced by Kubouch and briefly mentioned in [the language
reference](https://www.nushell.sh/lang-guide/chapters/strings_and_text.html#backtick-quotes).

[^2]: The documentation also said "running .bat scripts in this way may
be removed in the future and so should not be relied upon", which is
another reason to move away from this. But again, quoting for CMD is
hard.

[this](https://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm).

Replace ExternalStream with new ByteStream type (#12774)
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
    Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
    File(File),
    Child(ChildProcess),
}
```

This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.

Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
    Empty,
    Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```

The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.

This PR fixes #7017, fixes #10763, and fixes #12369.

This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |

# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

Change environment variables to be case-preserving (#12701)
This PR changes `$env` to be **case-preserving** instead of
case-sensitive. That is, it preserves the case of the environment
variable when it is first assigned, but subsequent retrieval and update
ignores the case.

Notably, both `$env.PATH` and `$env.Path` can now be used to read or set
the environment variable, but child processes will always see the
correct case based on the platform.

Fixes #11268.

---

This feature was surprising simple to implement, because most of the
infrastructure to support case-insensitive cell path access already
exists. The `get` command extracts data using a cell path in a
case-insensitive way (!), but accepts a `--sensitive` flag. (I think
this should be flipped around?)

Isolate tests from user config (#12437)
# Description
This is an attempt to isolate the unit tests from whatever might be in
the user's config. If the
user's config is broken in some way or incompatible with this version
(for example, especially if
there are plugins that aren't built for this version), tests can
spuriously fail.

This makes tests more reliably pass the same way they would on CI even
if the user has config, and
should also make them run faster.

I think this is _good enough_, but I still think we should have a
specific config dir env variable for nushell specifically (rather than
having to use `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, which would mess with other things) and
then we can just have `nu-test-support` set that to a temporary dir
containing the shipped default config files.

Add --no-newline option to nu (#12410)
# Description
I have `nu` set as my shell in my editor, which allows me to easily pipe
selections of text to things like `str pascal-case` or even more complex
string operation pipelines, which I find super handy. However, the only
annoying thing is that I pretty much always have to add `| print -n` at
the end, because `nu` adds a newline when it prints the resulting value.

This adds a `--no-newline` option to stop that from happening, and then
you don't need to pipe to `print -n` anymore, you can just have your
shell command for your editor contain that flag.

Fix some of the tests in tests::shell (#12417)
# Description
Some of the tests in `tests::shell` were using `sh` unnecessarily, and
had `#[cfg(not(windows))]` when they should be testable on Windows if
`sh` is not used.

I also found that they were using `.expect()` incorrectly, under the
assumption that that would check their output, when really an
`assert_eq!` on the output is needed to do that. So these tests weren't
even really working properly before.

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).

Support redirect stderr and stdout+stderr with a pipe (#11708)
# Description
Close: #9673
Close: #8277
Close: #10944

This pr introduces the following syntax:
1. `e>|`, pipe stderr to next command. Example: `$env.FOO=bar nu
--testbin echo_env_stderr FOO e>| str length`
2. `o+e>|` and `e+o>|`, pipe both stdout and stderr to next command,
example: `$env.FOO=bar nu --testbin echo_env_mixed out-err FOO FOO e+o>|
str length`

Note: it only works for external commands. ~There is no different for
internal commands, that is, the following three commands do the same
things:~ Edit: it raises errors if we want to pipes for internal
commands
``` 
❯ ls e>| str length
Error:   × `e>|` only works with external streams
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ ls e>| str length
   ·    ─┬─
   ·     ╰── `e>|` only works on external streams

 1 │ ls e+o>| str length
   ·    ──┬──
   ·      ╰── `o+e>|` only works on external streams

```

This can help us to avoid some strange issues like the following:

`$env.FOO=bar (nu --testbin echo_env_stderr FOO) e>| str length`

Which is hard to understand and hard to explain to users.

Fix a panic when parsing empty file (#11314)
The previous implementation presumed that if files were given, they had
contents. The change makes the fallback to permanent files uniform.

Refactor tests (using cococo instead of ^echo) (#11479)
- related PR: #11478 

# Description

Now we can use `nu --testbin cococo` instead of `^echo` to echo messages
to stdout in tests.

But `nu` treats parameters as its own flags when parameter starts with
`-`. So `^echo --foo='bar'` still use `^echo`.

Finishes implementing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/10598,
which asks for a spread operator in lists, in records, and when calling
commands.

# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing

This PR will allow spreading arguments to commands (both internal and
external). It will also deprecate spreading arguments automatically when
passing to external commands.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

- Users will be able to use `...` to spread arguments to custom/builtin
commands that have rest parameters or allow unknown arguments, or to any
external command
- If a custom command doesn't have a rest parameter and it doesn't allow
unknown arguments either, the spread operator will not be allowed
- Passing lists to external commands without `...` will work for now but
will cause a deprecation warning saying that it'll stop working in 0.91
(is 2 versions enough time?)

Here's a function to help with demonstrating some behavior:
```nushell
> def foo [ a, b, c?, d?, ...rest ] { [$a $b $c $d $rest] | to nuon }
```

You can pass a list of arguments to fill in the `rest` parameter using
`...`:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 ...[5 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]
```

If you don't use `...`, the list `[5 6]` will be treated as a single
argument:

```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 4 [5 6] # Note the double [[]]
[1, 2, 3, 4, [[5, 6]]]
```

You can omit optional parameters before the spread arguments:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] # d is omitted here
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5]]
```

If you have multiple lists, you can spread them all:
```nushell
> foo 1 2 3 ...[4 5] 6 7 ...[8] ...[]
[1, 2, 3, null, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]]
```

Here's the kind of error you get when you try to spread arguments to a
command with no rest parameter:

![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/45539777/93faceae-00eb-4e59-ac3f-17f98436e6e4)

And this is the warning you get when you pass a list to an external now
(without `...`):

Added tests to cover the following cases:
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
(unexpected spread argument error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
*but* there's also a missing positional argument (missing positional
error)
- Spreading arguments to a command that doesn't have a rest parameter
but does allow unknown arguments, such as `exec` (allowed)
- Spreading a list literal containing arguments of the wrong type (parse
error)
- Spreading a non-list value, both to internal and external commands
- Having named arguments in the middle of rest arguments
- `explain`ing a command call that spreads its arguments

# Examples

Suppose you have multiple tables:
```nushell
let people = [[id name age]; [0 alice 100] [1 bob 200] [2 eve 300]]
let evil_twins = [[id name age]; [0 ecila 100] [-1 bob 200] [-2 eve 300]]
```

Maybe you often find yourself needing to merge multiple tables and want
a utility to do that. You could write a function like this:
```nushell
def merge_all [ ...tables ] { $tables | reduce { |it, acc| $acc | merge $it } }
```

Then you can use it like this:
```nushell
> merge_all ...([$people $evil_twins] | each { |$it| $it | select name age })
╭───┬───────┬─────╮
│ # │ name  │ age │
├───┼───────┼─────┤
│ 0 │ ecila │ 100 │
│ 1 │ bob   │ 200 │
│ 2 │ eve   │ 300 │
╰───┴───────┴─────╯
```

Except they had duplicate columns, so now you first want to suffix every
column with a number to tell you which table the column came from. You
can make a command for that:
```nushell
def select_and_merge [ --cols: list<string>, ...tables ] {
  let renamed_tables = $tables
    | enumerate
    | each { |it|
      $it.item | select $cols | rename ...($cols | each { |col| $col + ($it.index | into string) })
    };
  merge_all ...$renamed_tables
}
```
And call it like this:
```nushell
> select_and_merge --cols [name age] $people $evil_twins
╭───┬───────┬──────┬───────┬──────╮
│ # │ name0 │ age0 │ name1 │ age1 │
├───┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────┤
│ 0 │ alice │  100 │ ecila │  100 │
│ 1 │ bob   │  200 │ bob   │  200 │
│ 2 │ eve   │  300 │ eve   │  300 │
╰───┴───────┴──────┴───────┴──────╯
```

---

Suppose someone's made a command to search for APT packages:

```nushell
# The main command
def search-pkgs [
    --install                   # Whether to install any packages it finds
    log_level: int              # Pretend it's a good idea to make this a required positional parameter
    exclude?: list<string>      # Packages to exclude
    repositories?: list<string> # Which repositories to look in (searches in all if not given)
    ...pkgs                     # Package names to search for
] {
  { install: $install, log_level: $log_level, exclude: ($exclude | to nuon), repositories: ($repositories | to nuon), pkgs: ($pkgs | to nuon) }
}
```

It has a lot of parameters to configure it, so you might make your own
helper commands to wrap around it for specific cases. Here's one
example:
```nushell
# Only look for packages locally
def search-pkgs-local [
    --install              # Whether to install any packages it finds
    log_level: int
    exclude?: list<string> # Packages to exclude
    ...pkgs                # Package names to search for
] {
  # All required and optional positional parameters are given
  search-pkgs --install=$install $log_level [] ["<local URI or something>"] ...$pkgs
}
```
And you can run it like this:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 ...["python2.7" "vim"]
╭──────────────┬──────────────────────────────╮
│ install      │ false                        │
│ log_level    │ 5                            │
│ exclude      │ []                           │
│ repositories │ ["<local URI or something>"] │
│ pkgs         │ ["python2.7", vim]           │
╰──────────────┴──────────────────────────────╯
```

One thing I realized when writing this was that if we decide to not
allow passing optional arguments using the spread operator, then you can
(mis?)use the spread operator to skip optional parameters. Here, I
didn't want to give `exclude` explicitly, so I used a spread operator to
pass the packages to install. Without it, I would've needed to do
`search-pkgs-local --install=false 5 [] "python2.7" "vim"` (explicitly
pass `[]` (or `null`, in the general case) to `exclude`). There are
probably more idiomatic ways to do this, but I just thought it was
something interesting.

If you're a virologist of the [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/350/) kind,
another helper command you might make is this:
```nushell
# Install any packages it finds
def live-dangerously [ ...pkgs ] {
  # One optional argument was given (exclude), while another was not (repositories)
  search-pkgs 0 [] ...$pkgs --install # Flags can go after spread arguments
}
```

Running it:
```nushell
> live-dangerously "git" "*vi*" # *vi* because I don't feel like typing out vim and neovim
╭──────────────┬─────────────╮
│ install      │ true        │
│ log_level    │ 0           │
│ exclude      │ []          │
│ repositories │ null        │
│ pkgs         │ [git, *vi*] │
╰──────────────┴─────────────╯
```

Here's an example that uses the spread operator more than once within
the same command call:
```nushell
let extras = [ chrome firefox python java git ]

def search-pkgs-curated [ ...pkgs ] {
  (search-pkgs
      1
      [emacs]
      ["example.com", "foo.com"]
      vim # A must for everyone!
      ...($pkgs | filter { |p| not ($p | str contains "*") }) # Remove packages with globs
      python # Good tool to have
      ...$extras
      --install=false
      python3) # I forget, did I already put Python in extras?
}
```

Running it:
```nushell
> search-pkgs-curated "git" "*vi*"
╭──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ install      │ false                                                             │
│ log_level    │ 1                                                                 │
│ exclude      │ [emacs]                                                           │
│ repositories │ [example.com, foo.com]                                            │

Update internal use of decimal to float (#10333)
# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320

Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.

Work for #10332

# User-Facing Changes

`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol. 

Instead of 
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use 
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```

Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`

# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`
- Update comment in script

Add tests for script subcommands (#9933)
# Description

Add a few tests to ensure that you can add subcommands to scripts. We've
supported this for a long time, though I'm not sure if anyone has
actually tried it. As we weren't testing the support, this PR adds a few
tests to ensure it stays working.

Example script subcommand:

```
def "main addten" [x: int] {
  print ($x + 10)
}
```

then call it with:

```
> nu ./script.nu addten 5
```

allow print to take data as input again (#9823)
related to
https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/601130461678272524/1134079115134251129

# Description
before 0.83.0, `print` used to allow piping data into it, e.g.
```nushell
"foo" | print
```
instead of 
```nushell
print "foo"
```

this PR enables the `any -> nothing` input / output type to allow this
again.

i've double checked and `print` is essentially the following snippet
```rust
        if !args.is_empty() {
            for arg in args {
                arg.into_pipeline_data()
                    .print(engine_state, stack, no_newline, to_stderr)?;
            }
        } else if !input.is_nothing() {
            input.print(engine_state, stack, no_newline, to_stderr)?;
        }
```
1. the first part is for `print a b c`
2. the second part is for `"foo" | print`

# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
"foo" | print
```
works again
