.NET 10 introduces `dotnet completions script nushell`. I took the opportunity to try and update the dotnet completions, to test if it works and what works, but ultimately concluded that it's incomplete/unusable as is. I updated the README.md with my findings. I assume `dotnet complete` is currently missing and will be extended with `dotnet completions` completions eventually. I'm not sure whether the current extern export is preferable over an external completer configuration, but it seems plausibly preferable to me, because it doesn't mix with other external completer configurations and is used earlier in the completion chain before falling back to external completers. If that is the case, the dotnet command generates suboptimal completion configuration.

- end line in comma then start the last part of a sentence on a new line?
- the last line isn't what i'd call helpful. the original syntax just needs to be figured out

I'm saying what was previously there would probably work if it were updated to $env.config

What I had there previously is the output from dotnet. Changing the code would defeat the purpose of showing what dotnet prints out.

Having non-working code in the help is also defeating the purpose. We need a PR to the dotnet repo too to fix their incorrect AI.
