Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11716

The problem is in our [record creation
API](0d518bf813/crates/nu-protocol/src/value/record.rs (L33))
which panics if the numbers of columns and values are different. I added
a safe variant that returns a `Result` and used it in the `rotate`
command.

## TODO in another PR:

Go through all `from_raw_cols_vals_unchecked()` (this includes the
`record!` macro which uses the unchecked version) and make sure that
either
a) it is guaranteed the number of cols and vals is the same, or
b) convert the call to `from_raw_cols_vals()`

Reason: Nushell should never panic.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

# 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 std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` 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
> ```

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

nu-cmd-extra

the extra commands are not part of the Nushell binary

The commands in this crate are the extra commands of Nushell. They do not get built for the release and it is the responsibility of the developer to build these commands if they want to use them.

These commands are not going to part of the 1.0 Api; meaning that there is no guarantee longer term that these commands will be around into the future. Of course since they are part of the source tree one could always incorporate them into their own custom release.

How to build the commands in this crate

Step 1 is to read the installation notes for Nushell which is located in our Nushell book.

Once Rust is installed you can then build Nushell with the following command.

cargo build --features=extra

Your Nushell binary which just got built is called nu and will be located here.
