git branch cleanup returns errors.

[TeaDrinkingProgrammer]

When calling git branch-cleanup, it returns this error:

 × Lists are not automatically spread when calling external commands
    ╭─[C:\Users\Stijn\AppData\Roaming\nushell\scripts\git_branch_cleanup.nu:88:55]

 89 │   | str trim
    ╰────
  help: Either convert the list to a string or use the spread operator, like so: ...$args

I tried adding a spread operator, but that broke the script. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I suspect this is because of 2 reasons

1. --redirect-stdout and --redirect-stderr have been deprecated
2. all the rest arguments to custom commands need to use the spread operator, not in just one custom command.

I suspect this was fixed in #799 , is that correct @TeaDrinkingProgrammer ?

Some errors have been resolved, but --redirect-stdout is still used, so I get depricated warnings for that and the script also doesn't seem to work anymore:

The deprecation warning is because the CI is using latest nushell version 0.92, released Apr-02,
here is a link to the deprecated commands chapter in the blogpost
