Description

This patch should implement the from-table-function.

Changes to TableFObj.java:
1) Make the getTable method public to have a quick access.
Alternatives:
1a) Only make public in TableCell (and call there super.getTable)
1b) Explicitly traverse back in the FromTableColumnFunction
with getParent until we reach the Table object.

Changes to TableColumn:
2) Preserve PropertyList and add an accessor for this list
Note:
Preserved PropertyList could be cleared at the end of the table
at fo tree parsing (for memory freeing) because it is not needed
for the layout-managers.
Should I do this in Table.endOfNode?

Changes to FromTableColumnFunction.java:
Details of implementation under discussion at fop-dev.
Thread: "table-columns and number-columns-spanned"
"last fallback" and eventually "second fallback" may be
obsoleted by this discussion.
