Add threads to the ls command in order to increase performance in some circumstances (#13836)
# Description

This PR tries to allow the `ls` command to use multiple threads if so
specified. The reason why you'd want to use threads is if you notice
`ls` taking a long time. The one place I see that happening is from WSL.

I'm not sure how real-world this test is but you can see that this
simple `ls` of a folder with length takes a while 9366 ms. I've run this
test many times and it ranges from about 15 seconds to about 10 seconds.
But with the `--threads` parameter, it takes less time, 2744ms in this
screenshot.

The only way forward I could find was to _always_ use threading and
adjust the number of threads based on if the user provides a flag. That
seemed the easiest way to do it after applying @devyn's interleave
advice.

No feelings hurt if this doesn't land. It's more of an experiment but I
think it has potential.

# 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
> ```

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.
