Overhaul the plugin cache file with a new msgpack+brotli format (#12579)
# Description

- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed

# User-Facing Changes

- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
  - `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help
- New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm`

# Tests + Formatting

Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling.

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

# After Submitting

- [ ] Check for documentation changes
- [ ] Definitely needs release notes

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
