Make json require string and pass around metadata (#7010)
* Make json require string and pass around metadata

The json deserializer was accepting any inputs by coercing non-strings
into strings. As an example, if the input was `[1, 2]` the coercion
would turn into `[12]` and deserialize as a list containing number
twelve instead of a list of two numbers, one and two. This could lead
to silent data corruption.

Aside from that pipeline metadata wasn't passed aroud.

This commit fixes the type issue by adding a strict conversion
function that errors if the input type is not a string or external
stream. It then uses this function instead of the original
`collect_string()`. In addition, this function returns the pipeline
metadata so it can be passed along.

* Make other formats require string

The problem with json coercing non-string types to string was present in
all other text formats. This reuses the `collect_string_strict` function
to fix them.

* `IntoPipelineData` cleanup

The method `into_pipeline_data_with_metadata` can now be conveniently
used.

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.
