Check if GT is still robust after the major releases they had

[timtreis]

Daniel (gtsummary) mentioned that GT had a big release and made major changes to their API. We're requiring GT 0.1.0, which was supposedly pre-CRAN? maybe me should check if our old code still runs without problems.

Can we also remove the dependency on glue? and only import the pipe from magrittr?

The gt package was at version 0.1.0 throughout its pre-CRAN development. I don't recall exactly when, but there was a major update to the internals and some of the functions one one point. I think it was after the first CRAN release, but I am not 100% certain.

Since gt is in the Suggests section, the version will never be checked FYI. Perhaps at the top of the gt section of render() you could add rlang::check_installed("gt", version = "0.3.1") to add a version check. It's also difficult to check old versions of pkgs. If you suspect there have been breaking changes in a pkg, I would suggest increasing the min required version to avoid potential issues.
