Remove items marked as deprecated before 0.27

[ntjohnson1]

I was getting ready to mark load_recording as deprecated and was looking over how we generally manage this. Saw we mark things deprecated in a few different ways and often forget to actually delete them. Try to make a quick pass to actually remove old cruft.

Pull request overview

This PR removes deprecated functionality from the Rerun SDK that was previously marked for deletion. The changes clean up old APIs across Python and Rust codebases, including deprecated functions for time setting, image encoding, video timestamps, and web serving.

Key Changes

• Removed deprecated time-setting functions (set_time_sequence, set_time_seconds, set_time_nanos) in favor of the unified set_time API
• Deleted deprecated serve_web functions, consolidating to serve_grpc + serve_web_viewer pattern
• Removed deprecated helper classes and functions for image encoding, video timestamps, and geometric types
• Eliminated outdated function names and their corresponding test files

Nice, feels good to get rid of that cruft. Might still be worth having a LLM write a small migration guide section, since this is technically breaking.

[abey79]

worth listing the other methods here? (or alternatively remove this list that is bound to be incomplete)

[ntjohnson1]

I think these are the relevant ones. Generally I support not enumerating things in docs since it always ends up stale but we do it all over 🤷

[abey79]

sharing the sentiment.

Added a section. Seemed good enough on first pass especially since most of these things have been deprecated for ~6months.
