Implements `whoami` using the `whoami` command from uutils as backend.
This is a draft because it depends on
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/5310 and a new release of
uutils needs to be made (and the paths in `Cargo.toml` should be
updated). At this point, this is more of a proof of concept 😄

Additionally, this implements a (simple and naive) conversion from the
uutils `UResult` to the nushell `ShellError`, which should help with the
integration of other utils, too. I can split that off into a separate PR
if desired.

I put this command in the "platform" category. If it should go somewhere
else, let me know!

The tests will currently fail, because I've used a local path to uutils.
Once the PR on the uutils side is merged, I'll update it to a git path
so that it can be tested and runs on more machines than just mine.

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

New `whoami` command. This might break some users who expect the system
`whoami` command. However, the result of this new command should be very
close, just with a nicer help message, at least for Linux users. The
default `whoami` on Windows is quite different from this implementation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/whoami

# 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.

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.
