Rename/deprecate range to slice (#14825)
# Description
As the `range` command has an ambiguous name (does it construct a range
type?, does it iterate a range like `seq`) replace it with a more
descriptive verb of what it does: `slice`

Closes #14130
# User-Facing Changes
`range` is now deprecated and replaced in whole by `slice` with the same
behavior.
`range` will be removed in `0.103.0`

# Tests + Formatting
Tests have been updated to use `slice`

# After submitting

- [ ] prepare PR for `nu_scripts` (several usages of `range` to be
fixed)
- [ ] update documentation usages of `range` after release

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.
