Add an example Nushell plugin written in Nushell itself (#12574)
# Description

As suggested by @fdncred.

It's neat that this is possible, but the particularly useful part of
this is that we can actually
test it because it doesn't have any external dependencies, unlike the
python plugin.

Right now this just implements exactly the same behavior as the python
plugin, but we could have it
exercise a few more things.

Also fixes a couple of bugs:

- `.nu` plugins were not run with `nu --stdin`, so they couldn't take
input.
- `register` couldn't be called if `--no-config-file` was set, because
it would error on trying to
  update the plugin file.

# User-Facing Changes

- `nu_plugin_nu_example` plugin added.
- `register` now works in `--no-config-file` mode.

# Tests + Formatting
Tests added for `nu_plugin_nu_example`.

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# After Submitting

- [ ] Add the version bump to the release script just like for python

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.
