Fixed regressions in quoting for string arguments in Nu script calls [toc]

PR #18030 by @fdncred

This release fixes incorrect quoting behavior when passing string arguments to Nu scripts. Quoted strings, including those with spaces and escape sequences, are now handled consistently.

Using these test scripts:

def --wrapped main [...args: string] {
  print $args
  print ($args.1 | str substring 0..0)
}

def main [...args: string] {
    print ...($args)
}

Quoted arguments now behave correctly:

> nu test2.nu a b "c\nd"
a
b
c
d
> nu test.nu arg1 "arg 2"
╭───┬───────╮
│ 0 │ arg1  │
│ 1 │ arg 2 │
╰───┴───────╯
a
> nu --no-config-file test2.nu a b "c\nd"
a
b
c
d
> nu --no-config-file test.nu arg1 "arg 2"
╭───┬───────╮
│ 0 │ arg1  │
│ 1 │ arg 2 │

Fixed regressions for input list [toc]

PR #18039 by @fdncred

This release fixes several regressions introduced in the previous release affecting input list behavior:

• Restored correct Tab and Backtab handling when using --fuzzy.
• Aligned behavior across --fuzzy, --multi, and combined --fuzzy --multi.
• Fixed cursor movement issues when --multi is enabled.
• Resolved Backtab wrap-around behavior.
• Corrected arrow key cursor navigation.
• Fixed an issue where --fuzzy did not search all items when input is streamed.

Other fixes

• When nu is run from a script, empty strings and strings containing [, {, or } in the arguments are properly quoted. (#18027)
