Refactor add_nested to join_nested #120

@hombit

Description

@hombit

Currently, the only supported way to add nested columns is by packing them by index and assigning them to NestedFrame with the same index values. However, as was found during the LSDB integration (astronomy-commons/lsdb#368, astronomy-commons/lsdb#367), it is important to pack by the value column instead of index.

Additionally, it would be nice to make the interface closer to pandas’ join by supporting on and how arguments.
