This PR fixes the problem pointed out in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13204, where the Fish-like
completions aren't sorted properly (this PR doesn't close that issue
because the author there wants more than just fixed sort order).

The cause is all of the file/directory completions being fetched first
and then sorted all together while being treated as strings. Instead,
this PR sorts completions within each individual directory, avoiding
treating `/` as part of the path.

To do this, I removed the `sort` method from the completer trait (as
well as `get_sort_by`) and made all completers sort within the `fetch`
method itself. A generic `sort_completions` helper has been added to
sort lists of completions, and a more specific `sort_suggestions` helper
has been added to sort `Vec<Suggestion>`s.

As for the actual change that fixes the sort order for file/directory
completions, the `complete_rec` helper now sorts the children of each
directory before visiting their children. The file and directory
completers don't bother sorting at the end (except to move hidden files
down).

To reviewers: don't let the 29 changed files scare you, most of those
are just the test fixtures :)

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

This is the current behavior with prefix matching:

And with fuzzy matching:

Notice how `partial/hello.txt` is the last suggestion, even though it
should come before `partial-a`. This is because the ASCII code for `/`
is greater than that of `-`, so `partial-` is put before `partial/`.

This is this PR's behavior with prefix matching (`partial/hello.txt` is
at the start):

# 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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

- Modified the partial completions test fixture to test whether this PR
even fixed anything
- Modified fixture to test sort order of .nu completions (a previous
version of my changes didn't sort all the completions at the end but
there were no tests catching that)
- Added a test for making sure subcommand completions are sorted by
Levenshtein distance (a previous version of my changes sorted in
alphabetical order but there were no tests catching that)

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
