tabularray 0.0.0.9000

Numbers are now formatted with a fixed number of decimal places (2 by default) instead of significant figures. Values such as 3.04 are no longer truncated to "3", and formatting no longer depends on the other values in a column. Integer and whole-valued columns render without decimals; dates and other types pass through faithfully. Per-column currency/percent/significant- digit formatting remains the user’s job, done before tblr() with packages such as scales or gt.
Column spanners no longer error with recent versions of dplyr (whose stricter if_else() rejected the array passed internally).

set_alignment() has been renamed to set_colspec(), which better reflects that it sets the full tabularray column specification (alignment, but also column types such as X or siunitx’s S).
Whether a column’s contents are escaped is now determined from the column’s type at render time rather than recorded when tblr() is called. Columns formatted before or after tblr() are now both escaped correctly.
set_column_spanner() now errors when a spanner targets non-adjacent columns, which previously rendered a spanner over the wrong columns.
Functions emit informative errors (e.g. when a caption is missing, more than one grouping variable is supplied, or colspec is set via set_interface()), and warn when set_colspec() / set_column_labels() are given a column name that does not exist.

Removed the dependency on gt; LaTeX escaping is now built in.
knitr is no longer required to generate LaTeX output. It remains a suggested dependency for seamless R Markdown / Quarto integration.
Declared a dependency on R (>= 4.1.0), which the package already required (native pipe and \(x) lambda syntax).
