Refactor the CLI code a bit (#12782)
# Description
Refactors the code in `nu-cli`, `main.rs`, `run.rs`, and few others.
Namely, I added `EngineState::generate_nu_constant` function to
eliminate some duplicate code. Otherwise, I changed a bunch of areas to
return errors instead of calling `std::process::exit`.

# User-Facing Changes
Should be none.

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.
