Deprecate register and add plugin use (#12607)
# Description

Adds a new keyword, `plugin use`. Unlike `register`, this merely loads
the signatures from the plugin cache file. The file is configurable with
the `--plugin-config` option either to `nu` or to `plugin use` itself,
just like the other `plugin` family of commands. At the REPL, one might
do this to replace `register`:

```nushell
> plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_foo
> plugin use foo
```

This will not work in a script, because `plugin use` is a keyword and
`plugin add` does not evaluate at parse time (intentionally). This means
we no longer run random binaries during parse.

The `--plugins` option has been added to allow running `nu` with certain
plugins in one step. This is used especially for the `nu_with_plugins!`
test macro, but I'd imagine is generally useful. The only weird quirk is
that it has to be a list, and we don't really do this for any of our
other CLI args at the moment.

`register` now prints a deprecation parse warning.

This should fix #11923, as we now have a complete alternative to
`register`.

# User-Facing Changes

- Add `plugin use` command
- Deprecate `register`
- Add `--plugins` option to `nu` to replace a common use of `register`

# Tests + Formatting

I think I've tested it thoroughly enough and every existing test passes.
Testing nu CLI options and alternate config files is a little hairy and
I wish there were some more generic helpers for this, so this will go on
my TODO list for refactoring.

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

# After Submitting

- [ ] Update plugins sections of book
