Motivation for this is that there's a bunch of stuff at the bottom of the Readme that we don't really keep up to date. Instead it's better to link to the places that we do keep this info.
This notice was useful when the `Cargo.toml` had no standardized field
for this. Now it's easier to look it up in the `Cargo.toml` and it's
also a single point of truth. Updating the README was overlooked for
quite some time so it's better to just omit it rather than having
something wrong that will be forgotten again in the future.
`crossterm`, `termion`, and `termwiz` can now be accessed as
`ratatui::{crossterm, termion, termwiz}` respectively. This makes it
possible to just add the Ratatui crate as a dependency and use the
backend of choice without having to add the backend crates as
dependencies.
To update existing code, replace all instances of `crossterm::` with
`ratatui::crossterm::`, `termion::` with `ratatui::termion::`, and
`termwiz::` with `ratatui::termwiz::`.
`Block::bordered()` is shorter than
`Block::new().borders(Borders::ALL)`, requires one less import
(`Borders`) and in case `Block::default()` was used before can even be
`const`.
The badges in the readme were all the default theme. Giving them
prettier colors that match the terminal gif is better. I've used the
colors from the VHS repo.

Link to the contributing, changelog, and breaking changes docs at the
top of the page instead of just in in the main part of the doc. This
makes it easier to find them.

Adds a convenience function to create a layout with a direction and a
list of constraints which are the most common parameters that would be
generally configured using the builder pattern. The constraints can be
passed in as any iterator of constraints.
```rust
let layout = Layout::new(Direction::Horizontal, [
Constraint::Percentage(50),
Constraint::Percentage(50),
]);
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
Layout::new() now takes a direction and a list of constraints instead of
no arguments. This is a breaking change because it changes the signature
of the function. Layout::new() is also no longer const because it takes
an iterator of constraints.
* docs: make library and README consistent
Generate the bulk of the README from the library documentation, so that
they are consistent using cargo-rdme.
- Removed the Contributors section, as it is redundant with the github
contributors list.
- Removed the info about the other backends and replaced it with a
pointer to the documentation.
- add docsrs example, vhs tape and images that will end up in the README
Fixes: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/512
* chore(toolchain)!: bump msrv to 1.67
BREAKING_CHANGE: The msrv is now `1.67`
* docs(readme): update the MSRV notice
