polars 1.0.0

This is a completely rewritten new version of the polars R package. It improves the internal structure of the package and catches up with Python Polars' API. At the time of writing, this version of R Polars matches Python Polars 1.31.0.

Therefore it contains many breaking changes compared to the previous R Polars implementation. Some of those breaking changes are explained below, but many others are due to modifications of function names, argument names, or argument positions. There are too many to list here, so you should refer to the Python Polars API docs.

For compatibility, the old version (polars 0.22.4) is now available as a separate package named "polars0". We can install both polars and polars0 at the same time. See the polars0 documentation for details.
