allow lists to have type annotations (#8529)
this pr refines #8270 and closes #8109

# description
examples:

the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [nums: list] {}         # the type of list will be list<any>
```

empty annotations are allowed in any variation
the last two may be caught by a future formatter, 
but do not affect `nu` code currently
```nu
def okay [nums: list<>] {}       # okay

def okay [nums: list<     >] {}  # weird but also okay

def okay [nums: list<
>] {}                            # also weird but okay
```

types are allowed (See [notes](#notes) below)
```nu
def okay [nums: list<int>] {}    # `test [a b c]` will throw an error 

def okay [nums: list< int > {}   # any amount of space within the angle brackets is okay

def err [nums: list <int>] {}    # this is not okay, `nums` and `<int>` will be parsed as
                                 # two separate params, 
```

nested annotations are allowed in many variations
```nu
def okay [items: list<list<int>>] {}

def okay [items: list<list>] {}
```

any unterminated annotation is caught
```nu
Error: nu::parser::unexpected_eof

  × Unexpected end of code.
   ╭─[source:1:1]
 1 │ def err [nums: list<int] {}
   ·                       ▲
   ·                       ╰── expected closing >
   ╰────
```

unknown types are flagged
```nu
Error: nu::parser::unknown_type

  × Unknown type.
   ╭─[source:1:1]
 1 │ def err [nums: list<str>] {}
   ·                     ─┬─
   ·                      ╰── unknown type
   ╰────

Error: nu::parser::unknown_type

  × Unknown type.
   ╭─[source:1:1]
 1 │ def err [nums: list<int, string>] {}
   ·                    ─────┬─────
   ·                          ╰── unknown type
   ╰────
```

# notes
the error message for mismatched types in not as intuitive
```nu
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[source:1:1]
 1 │ def err [nums: list<int>] {}; err [a b c]
   ·                                    ┬
   ·                                    ╰── expected int
   ╰────
```
it should be something like this
```nu
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[source:1:1]
 1 │ def err [nums: list<int>] {}; err [a b c]
   ·                                    ──┬──
   ·                                      ╰── expected list<int>
   ╰────
```

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.
