Before this PR, you can access rendered error values that are raised in
a `try/catch` block by accessing the `rendered` element of the catch
error value:
```
$ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
my cool error:
nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

However, the rendered errors don't include the labels present in the
real rendered error, which would look like this:
```
$ ls nonexist.txt
Error: nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
   ╭─[entry #46:1:4]
 1 │ ls nonexist.txt
   ·    ──────┬─────
   ·          ╰── directory not found
   ╰────
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

After this PR, the rendered error includes the labels:

```
$ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
my cool error:
Error: nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
   ╭─[entry #4:1:10]
 1 │ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
   ·          ──────┬─────
   ·                ╰── directory not found
   ╰────
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

This change is accomplished by using the standard error formatting code
to render an error. This respects the error theme as before without any
extra scaffolding, but it means that e.g., the terminal size is also
respected. I think this is fine because the way the error is rendered
already changed based on config, and I think that a "rendered" error
should give back _exactly_ what would be shown to the user anyway.

@fdncred, let me know if you have any concerns with the way this is
handled since you were the one who implemented this feature in the first
place.

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

The `rendered` element of the `try`/`catch` error record now includes
labels in the error output.

# 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
> ```

nu-cmd-lang

the base language and command crate of nu

The commands in this crate are the core commands of the nu language. It is also the base crate upon which all other command crates sit on top of including:

  • nu-command
  • nu-cli
  • nu-cmd-extra

As time goes on and the nu language develops further in parallel with nushell we will be adding other command crates to the system.

What does it mean to be a base crate ?

A base crate is one with minimal dependencies in our system so that other developers can come along and use this crate without having a lot of baggage in terms of other crates which will bloat their underlying application.

Background on nu-cmd-lang

This crate was designed to be a small, concise set of tools or commands that serve as the foundation layer of both nu and nushell. These are the core commands needed to have a nice working version of the nu language without all of the support that the other commands provide inside nushell. Prior to the launch of this crate all of our commands were housed in the crate nu-command. Moving forward we would like to slowly break out the commands in nu-command into different crates; the naming and how this will work and where all the commands will be located is a "work in progress" especially now that the standard library is starting to become more popular as a location for commands. As time goes on some of our commands written in rust will be migrated to nu and when this happens they will be moved into the standard library.
