rhino 1.7.0

CRAN release: 2024-02-22

See How-to: Rhino 1.7 Migration Guide

   • box_func_import_count_linter checks if the number of function imports does not exceed the limit.
   • box_separate_calls_linter checks if packages and modules are imported in separate statements.
2. Major refactor of rhino::app():
