This upgrades the `windows` and `trash` crates so we are only compiling 1 version of the `windows` crate ([I recently upgraded the version used in `trash`](https://github.com/Byron/trash-rs/pull/58)). I was hoping that this would lead to some decent compile time improvements, but unfortunately it did not. Compiling 1 version of `windows` with all the features unified is about as slow as compiling 2 versions with distinct feature sets. Still, might as well upgrade.
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.
