Add LRU regex cache (#7587)
Closes #7572 by adding a cache for compiled regexes of type
`Arc<Mutex<LruCache<String, Regex>>>` to `EngineState` .

The cache is limited to 100 entries (limit chosen arbitrarily) and
evicts least-recently-used items first.

This PR makes a noticeable difference when using regexes for
`color_config`, e.g.:
```bash
#first set string formatting in config.nu like:
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }`

# then try displaying and exploring a table with many strings
# this is instant after the PR, but takes hundreds of milliseconds before
['#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#4101ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff', '#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff','#ff0033', '#0025ee', '#0087aa', 'string', '#6103ff']
```

## New dependency (`lru`)
This uses [the popular `lru` crate](https://lib.rs/crates/lru). The new
dependency adds 19.8KB to a Linux release build of Nushell. I think this
is OK, especially since the crate can be useful elsewhere in Nu.

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.
