refactor(clippy): enable breaking lint checks (#988)

We need to make sure to not change existing methods without a notice.
But at the same time this also finds public additions with mistakes
before they are even released which is what I would like to have.

This renames a method and deprecated the old name hinting to a new name.
Should this be mentioned somewhere, so it's added to the release notes?
It's not breaking because the old method is still there.

-### Removed `Axis::title_style` and `Buffer::set_background`
+### `Flex::Start` is the new default flex mode for `Layout` ([#881])
+
+[#881]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/881
+
+Previously, constraints would stretch to fill all available space, violating constraints if
+necessary.
+
+With v0.26.0, `Flex` modes are introduced, and the default is `Flex::Start`, which will align
+areas associated with constraints to be beginning of the area. With v0.26.0, additionally,
+`Min` constraints grow to fill excess space. These changes will allow users to build layouts
+more easily.
+
+With v0.26.0, users will most likely not need to change what constraints they use to create
+existing layouts with `Flex::Start`. However, to get old behavior, use `Flex::Legacy`.
+
+```diff
+- let rects = Layout::horizontal([Length(1), Length(2)]).split(area);
+// becomes
++ let rects = Layout::horizontal([Length(1), Length(2)]).flex(Flex::Legacy).split(area);
+```
+
+### `Table::new()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item: Into<Row<'a>>>` ([#774])
+
+[#774]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/774
+
+Previously, `Table::new()` accepted `IntoIterator<Item=Row<'a>>`.  The argument change to
+`IntoIterator<Item: Into<Row<'a>>>`, This allows more flexible types from calling scopes, though it
+can some break type inference in the calling scope for empty containers.
+
+This can be resolved either by providing an explicit type (e.g. `Vec::<Row>::new()`), or by using
+`Table::default()`.
+
+```diff
+- let table = Table::new(vec![], widths);
+// becomes
++ let table = Table::default().widths(widths);
+```
+
+### `Tabs::new()` now accepts `IntoIterator<Item: Into<Line<'a>>>` ([#776])
+
+[#776]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/776
+
+Previously, `Tabs::new()` accepted `Vec<T>` where `T: Into<Line<'a>>`.  This allows more flexible
+types from calling scopes, though it can break some type inference in the calling scope.
+
+This typically occurs when collecting an iterator prior to calling `Tabs::new`, and can be resolved
+by removing the call to `.collect()`.
+
+```diff
+- let tabs = Tabs::new((0.3).map(|i| format!("{i}")).collect());
+// becomes
++ let tabs = Tabs::new((0.3).map(|i| format!("{i}")));
+```
+
+### Table::default() now sets segment_size to None and column_spacing to ([#751])
+
+[#751]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/751
+
+The default() implementation of Table now sets the column_spacing field to 1 and the segment_size
+field to `SegmentSize::None`. This will affect the rendering of a small amount of apps.
+
+To use the previous default values, call `table.segment_size(Default::default())` and
+`table.column_spacing(0)`.
+
+### `patch_style` & `reset_style` now consumes and returns `Self` ([#754])
+
+[#754]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/754
+
+Previously, `patch_style` and `reset_style` in `Text`, `Line` and `Span` were using a mutable
+reference to `Self`. To be more consistent with the rest of `ratatui`, which is using fluent
+setters, these now take ownership of `Self` and return it.
+
+The following example shows how to migrate for `Line`, but the same applies for `Text` and `Span`.
+
+```diff
+- let mut line = Line::from("foobar");
+- line.patch_style(style);
+// becomes
++ let line = Line::new("foobar").patch_style(style);
+```
+
+### Remove deprecated `Block::title_on_bottom` ([#757])
+
+[#757]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/757
+
+`Block::title_on_bottom` was deprecated in v0.22. Use `Block::title` and `Title::position` instead.
+
+```diff
+- block.title("foobar").title_on_bottom();
++ block.title(Title::from("foobar").position(Position::Bottom));
+```
+
+### `Block` style methods cannot be used in a const context ([#720])
+
+[#720]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/720
+
+Previously the `style()`, `border_style()` and `title_style()` methods could be used to create a
+`Block` in a constant context. These now accept `Into<Style>` instead of `Style`. These methods no
+longer can be called from a constant context.
+
+### `Line` now has a `style` field that applies to the entire line ([#708])
+
+[#708]: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/pull/708
+
+Previously the style of a `Line` was stored in the `Span`s that make up the line. Now the `Line`
+itself has a `style` field, which can be set with the `Line::styled` method. Any code that creates
+`Line`s using the struct initializer instead of constructors will fail to compile due to the added
+field. This can be easily fixed by adding `..Default::default()` to the field list or by using a
+constructor method (`Line::styled()`, `Line::raw()`) or conversion method (`Line::from()`).
+
+Each `Span` contained within the line will no longer have the style that is applied to the line in
+the `Span::style` field.
+
+```diff
+  let line = Line {
+      spans: vec!["".into()],
+      alignment: Alignment::Left,
++     ..Default::default()
+  };
+
+  // or
+
+  let line = Line::raw(vec!["".into()])
+      .alignment(Alignment::Left);
+```

+>
+> There may be backwards incompatible changes in these examples, as they are designed to compile

+>
+> There are a few workaround for this problem:
+>
+> - View the examples as they were when the latest version was release by selecting the tag that
+>   matches that version. E.g. <https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/tree/v0.26.1/examples>.
+> - If you're viewing this file on GitHub, there is a combo box at the top of this page  which
+>   allows you to select any previous tagged version.
+> - To view the code locally, checkout the tag. E.g. `git switch --detach v0.26.1`.
+> - Use the latest [alpha version of Ratatui] in your app. These are released weekly on Saturdays.
+> - Compile your code against the main branch either locally by adding e.g. `path = "../ratatui"` to
+>   the dependency, or remotely by adding `git = "https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui"`

+// This example also demonstrates how implementing the Widget trait on a mutable reference
+// allows the widget to update its state while it is being rendered. This allows the fps
+// widget to update the fps calculation and the colors widget to update a cached version of
+// the colors to render instead of recalculating them every frame.
+//
+// This is an alternative to using the `StatefulWidget` trait and a separate state struct. It
+// is useful when the state is only used by the widget and doesn't need to be shared with
+// other widgets.

+//! [tui-big-text] is a rust crate that renders large pixel text as a [Ratatui] widget using the
+//! glyphs from the [font8x8] crate.
+//!
+//! ![Hello World example](https://vhs.charm.sh/vhs-2UxNc2SJgiNqHoowbsXAMW.gif)
+//!
+//! # Installation
+//!
+//! ```shell
+//! cargo add ratatui tui-big-text
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Usage
+//!
+//! Create a [`BigText`] widget using `BigTextBuilder` and pass it to [`Frame::render_widget`] to
+//! render be rendered. The builder allows you to customize the [`Style`] of the widget and the
+//! [`PixelSize`] of the glyphs. The [`PixelSize`] can be used to control how many character cells
+//! are used to represent a single pixel of the 8x8 font.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use anyhow::Result;
+//! use ratatui::prelude::*;
+//! use tui_big_text::{BigTextBuilder, PixelSize};
+//!
+//! fn render(frame: &mut Frame) -> Result<()> {
+//!     let big_text = BigTextBuilder::default()
+//!         .pixel_size(PixelSize::Full)
+//!         .style(Style::new().blue())
+//!         .lines(vec![
+//!             "Hello".red().into(),
+//!             "World".white().into(),
+//!             "~~~~~".into(),
+//!         ])
+//!         .build()?;
+//!     frame.render_widget(big_text, frame.size());
