Improved null handling when converting from nu -> dataframe. (#13855)
# Description
Fixes: #12726 and #13185

Previously converting columns that contained null caused polars to force
a dtype of object even when using a schema.

Now:
1. When using a schema, the type the schema defines for the column will
always be used.
2. When a schema is not used, the previous type is used when a value is
null.

# User-Facing Changes
- The type defined by the schema we be respected when passing in a null
value `[a]; [null] | polars into-df -s {a: str}` will create a df with
an str dtype column with one null value versus a column of type object.
- *BREAKING CHANGE* If you define a schema, all columns must be in the
schema.

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.
