Remove serde derive for ShellError, replace via LabeledError (#12319)
# Description

This changes the interface for plugins to always represent errors as
`LabeledError`s. This is good for altlang plugins, as it would suck for
them to have to implement and track `ShellError`. We save a lot of
generated code from the `ShellError` serde impl too, so `nu` and plugins
get to have a smaller binary size.

Reduces the release binary size by 1.2 MiB on my build configuration.

# User-Facing Changes

- Changes plugin protocol. `ShellError` no longer serialized.
- `ShellError` serialize output is different
- `ShellError` no longer deserializes to exactly the same value as
serialized

# Tests + Formatting

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

# After Submitting

- [ ] Document in plugin protocol reference

nu-protocol

The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
