Update to SDL3 #350
Description
Summary
SDL3 is fully released now, and is largely backwards compatible (barring various function name changes) - so I think it's probably worth updating Tetra to use it at some point.
The only tricky thing with this could be that we'd have to switch to https://github.com/vhspace/sdl3-rs instead of sdl2-rs.

Possibly not as simple as I thought, as
sdl3-rsisn't just a straightforward fork (they've changed quite a lot around error handling, etc). Part of me is tempted to do what I did innovaand just use thesdl3-syslibrary instead, though that would be a lot of unsafe to write to keep feature parity.As a short-term solution, I probably should update the docs to point at github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat, since that will let people continue to use the latest SDL with Tetra!

Never mind, it wasn't actually as hard as it seemed: #351

This is now merged. Planning on releasing as soon as I've taken care of a few other minor issues that have stacked up since 0.8.
