Run tests on minimal versions

Description

From the problem in #12762

[szepeviktor]

Is this a real problem?

error: failed to select a version for `chrono`.
    ... required by package `nu-cli v0.93.1 (/home/runner/work/nushell/nushell/crates/nu-cli)`
versions that meet the requirements `^0.4` are: 0.4.0

the package `nu-cli` depends on `chrono`, with features: `std` but `chrono` does not have these features.

failed to select a version for `chrono` which could resolve this conflict

Thanks for working on this, this seems like a good sanity check, not sure if we should do this on cargo test (makes sense in the specific context of #12762) or also on cargo build as this is closer to a likely place of failure (when using nu crates as libraries) and the added requirements of the dev-dependencies may raise the version requirements as a side effect.

Please guide me what to do next.

I probably have to think about it a bit more to really have good advice on how we need to set up all the different jobs:

• We want to test both the versions (and the toolchain)
  • which we are shipping in production
  • and the most minimal version we have specified
• and for those that only use a crate from our workspace like nu-plugin we need to run this with just cargo build -p <name of crate> to ensure that cargo doesn't resolve the rest (seems like a job for cargo hack?)

In the mean time can you rebase this branch onto main after chrono has been fixed, so we can work on any other remaining failures that become obvious (as it already stopped on feature resolution)?

Done 🍏

error: failed to select a version for `uuid`.

versions that meet the requirements `^1.7` are: 1.7.0

all possible versions conflict with previously selected packages.

  previously selected package `uuid v1.8.0`
    ... which satisfies dependency `uuid = "^1.8.0"` of package `nu-cli v0.93.1 (/home/runner/work/nushell/nushell/crates/nu-cli)`
