Title: config reset

Summary

The `config reset` command resets NuShell's environment configurations to their defaults. It can reset both the main configuration (`config.nu`) and the environment configuration (`env.nu`), or both. It also saves the previous configurations as `oldconfig.nu` and `oldenv.nu` in the config directory for backup, unless the `--without-backup` flag is used.
