add multiple grouper support to group-by (#14337)
- closes #14330 

Related:
- #2607 
- #14019
- #14316 

# Description
This PR changes `group-by` to support grouping by multiple `grouper`
arguments.

# Changes

- No grouper: no change in behavior 
- Single grouper
  - `--to-table=false`: no change in behavior
  - `--to-table=true`:
    - closure grouper: named group0
    - cell-path grouper: named after the cell-path
- Multiple groupers:
  - `--to-table=false`: nested groups
- `--to-table=true`: one column for each grouper argument, followed by
the `items` column
    - columns corresponding to cell-paths are named after them
- columns corresponding to closure groupers are named `group{i}` where
`i` is the index of the grouper argument

```nushell
let data = [
    [name, lang, year];
    [andres, rb, "2019"],
    [jt, rs, "2019"],
    [storm, rs, "2021"]
]

> $data
╭─#─┬──name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮
│ 0 │ andres │ rb   │ 2019 │
│ 1 │ jt     │ rs   │ 2019 │
│ 2 │ storm  │ rs   │ 2021 │
╰─#─┴──name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯
```

```nushell
> $data | group-by lang
╭────┬──────────────────────────────╮
│    │ ╭─#─┬──name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮ │
│ rb │ │ 0 │ andres │ rb   │ 2019 │ │

│    │ ╰─#─┴─name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯  │
╰────┴──────────────────────────────╯
```

Group column is now named after the grouper, to allow multiple groupers.
```nushell
> $data | group-by lang --to-table  # column names changed!
╭─#─┬─lang─┬────────────items─────────────╮
│ 0 │ rb   │ ╭─#─┬──name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮ │
│   │      │ │ 0 │ andres │ rb   │ 2019 │ │
│   │      │ ╰─#─┴──name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯ │
│ 1 │ rs   │ ╭─#─┬─name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮  │
│   │      │ │ 0 │ jt    │ rs   │ 2019 │  │
│   │      │ │ 1 │ storm │ rs   │ 2021 │  │
│   │      │ ╰─#─┴─name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯  │
╰─#─┴─lang─┴────────────items─────────────╯
```

Grouping by multiple columns makes finer grained aggregations possible.
```nushell
> $data | group-by lang year --to-table
╭─#─┬─lang─┬─year─┬────────────items─────────────╮
│ 0 │ rb   │ 2019 │ ╭─#─┬──name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮ │
│   │      │      │ │ 0 │ andres │ rb   │ 2019 │ │
│   │      │      │ ╰─#─┴──name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯ │
│ 1 │ rs   │ 2019 │ ╭─#─┬─name─┬─lang─┬─year─╮   │
│   │      │      │ │ 0 │ jt   │ rs   │ 2019 │   │
│   │      │      │ ╰─#─┴─name─┴─lang─┴─year─╯   │
│ 2 │ rs   │ 2021 │ ╭─#─┬─name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮  │
│   │      │      │ │ 0 │ storm │ rs   │ 2021 │  │
│   │      │      │ ╰─#─┴─name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯  │
╰─#─┴─lang─┴─year─┴────────────items─────────────╯
```

Grouping by multiple columns, without `--to-table` returns a nested
structure.
This is equivalent to `$data | group-by year | split-by lang`, making
`split-by` obsolete.
```nushell
> $data | group-by lang year
╭────┬─────────────────────────────────────────╮
│    │ ╭──────┬──────────────────────────────╮ │
│ rb │ │      │ ╭─#─┬──name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮ │ │
│    │ │ 2019 │ │ 0 │ andres │ rb   │ 2019 │ │ │
│    │ │      │ ╰─#─┴──name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯ │ │
│    │ ╰──────┴──────────────────────────────╯ │
│    │ ╭──────┬─────────────────────────────╮  │
│ rs │ │      │ ╭─#─┬─name─┬─lang─┬─year─╮  │  │
│    │ │ 2019 │ │ 0 │ jt   │ rs   │ 2019 │  │  │
│    │ │      │ ╰─#─┴─name─┴─lang─┴─year─╯  │  │
│    │ │      │ ╭─#─┬─name──┬─lang─┬─year─╮ │  │
│    │ │ 2021 │ │ 0 │ storm │ rs   │ 2021 │ │  │
│    │ │      │ ╰─#─┴─name──┴─lang─┴─year─╯ │  │
│    │ ╰──────┴─────────────────────────────╯  │
╰────┴─────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

This example can be achieved like this:
```nushell
> open movies-2.csv
  | group-by "Lead Studio" Genre --to-table
  | insert count {get items | length}
  | insert sum { get items."Worldwide Gross" | math sum}
  | reject items
  | sort-by "Lead Studio" Genre
