Ability to render tables to console

Currently, Great Tables supports rendering to HTML. However, python supports rich table displays in console, using frameworks like rich:

Unfortunately, rich does not allow col and rowspan, but we may be able to find a tool that does (or a way to make it work). (see also the less active library dashtable).

A user on the polars discord mentioned this kind of printout in the console would be useful, and I totally agree! This might be something we pursue once we have a good internal representation of a "built" table, that can easily be passed to different renderers.
