This is a simplification of the public API that is helpful for new users
that are not familiar with how rust re-exports work, and helps avoid
clashes with other modules in the backends that are named terminal.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `terminal` module is now private and can not be
used directly. The types under this module are exported from the root of
the crate.
```diff
- use ratatui::terminal::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
+ use ratatui::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
```

Consensus is that explicit imports make it easier to understand the
example code. This commit removes the prelude import from all examples
and replaces it with the necessary imports, and expands other glob
imports (widget::*, Constraint::*, KeyCode::*, etc.) everywhere else.
Prelude glob imports not in examples are not covered by this PR.
See https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/1150 for more details.
`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`.
Fixes many not yet enabled lints (mostly pedantic) on everything that is
not the lib (examples, benchs, tests). Therefore, this is not containing
anything that can be a breaking change.
Lints are not enabled as that should be the job of #974. I created this
as a separate PR as its mostly independent and would only clutter up the
diff of #974 even more.

In a recent commit we added Rec::split, but this feels more ergonomic as
Layout::areas. This also adds Layout::spacers to get the spacers between
the areas.
* 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
