Rust example in plugins chapter of contributers book does not compile in recent versions of Nushell

[edhowland]

The Rust example plugin in https://www.nushell.sh/contributor-book/plugins.html
does not compile with later versions of Nushell. Following the instructions
on the page the Cargo.toml pins the crates to 0.84.0 or whatever your current
version of Nushell is. The sample Cargo.toml on the page pins the crates at
0.80.0. If you replace the Cargo.toml with the example, the project compiles.
The change occurred between 0.80.0 and 0.81.0 in the nu-protocol crate.

The lines in the file: './src/main.rs' from the plugins.md source for the above
web page are:

./src/main.rs:16,17

            .input_type(Type::String)
            .output_type(Type::Int)

The change occurred in this commit:

The source lines that changed are in the main nushell repository:

'./crates/nu-protocol/src/signature.rs' (around lines 443 or so)

Changing the lines of the example main.rs to:

            .input_output_type(Type::String, Type::Int)

Allows the project to build.

Additionally, the sample Cargo.toml should be changed to pin both the
'nu-plugin' and 'nu-protocol' crates to at least 0.84.0.

A corresponding PR has also been submitted.

ya, we can have .intput_output_type() or input_output_types() if there are mutliple input output types. I agree that this needs to be updated.
