refactor(list)!: remove deprecated start_corner and Corner (#759)

`List::start_corner` was deprecated in v0.25. Use `List::direction` and
`ListDirection` instead.

```diff
- list.start_corner(Corner::TopLeft);
- list.start_corner(Corner::TopRight);
// This is not an error, BottomRight rendered top to bottom previously
- list.start_corner(Corner::BottomRight);
// all becomes
+ list.direction(ListDirection::TopToBottom);
```

```diff
- list.start_corner(Corner::BottomLeft);
// becomes
+ list.direction(ListDirection::BottomToTop);
```

`layout::Corner` is removed entirely.
