FEATURE: print example command results in the help (#8189)
Should close #8035.

# Description
this PR adds, when it is defined in the `examples` method of the
`Command` implementations, the output of the examples to the output of
the `help` command.

this PR
- only modifies `crates/nu-engine/src/documentation.rs` and the
`get_documentation` function
- defines a new `WD` constant to print a **W**hite **D**immed `...`
- a `match` statement at the end of the example loop to
- print a white dimmed `...` when the example is not set, i.e. set to
`None` in the `examples` method of the `Command` implementation of a
command
- pretty print the output of the associated example `Value` when it has
been defined

> **Warning**
> LIMITATIONS:
> - i use snippets from `crates/nu-protocol/src/pipeline_data.rs`
> - the table creation from `pub PipelineData::print`, i.e. the `let
decl_id = ...;` and `let table = ...;` in the change
> - the table item printing from `PipelineData::write_all_and_flush`,
i.e. the `for item in table { ... }`
>
> ADDRESSED:
> - ~~the formatting of the output is not perfect and has to be fully
left aligned with the first column for now~~ (fixed with
[`5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e`..`a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63`](5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e..a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63))
> - ~~i'm using `.unwrap()` on both the changes above, not sure how to
handle this for now~~ (fixed for now thanks to 49f1dc080)
> - ~~the tests and `clippy` checks do not pass for now, see below~~
(`clippy` now is happy with 49f1dc080 and the tests pass with
11666bc715)

# User-Facing Changes
the output of the `help <command>` command is now augmented with the
outputs of the examples, when they are defined.
- `with-env`
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }
  my env value

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }
  Y

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }
  Z

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ Y │
  │ 1 │ Z │
  ╰───┴───╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
```
- `merge`
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )
  ╭───┬──────╮
  │ # │ name │
  ├───┼──────┤
  │ 1 │ a    │
  │ 2 │ b    │
  │ 3 │ c    │
  ╰───┴──────╯

  Merge two records
  > {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3}
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ a │ 1 │
  │ b │ 2 │
  │ c │ 3 │
  ╰───┴───╯

  Merge two tables, overwriting overlapping columns
  > [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}]
  ╭───┬─────────┬─────────╮
  │ # │ columnA │ columnB │
  ├───┼─────────┼─────────┤
  │ 0 │ A0*     │ B0      │
  ╰───┴─────────┴─────────╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )

  Merge two records
  > {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3}

  Merge two tables, overwriting overlapping columns
  > [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}]
