[FOP-2763] retrieve-table-marker on nested tables causes whole tables to disappear

Description

When fo:table with retrieve-table-marker is nested in another fo:table, invalid code causes whole inner table to disappear.

This is probably because org.apache.fop.fo.flow.RetrieveTableMarker#findAncestor marks ALL parent table-cells up to fo:flow as HavingRetrieveTableMarker, instead of marking just current table's cell.

See my proof of bug with demonstrations at https://github.com/jakubgwozdz/fop-retrieve-table-markers-bug

The initial workaround could involve something like this:

  if (temp.getNameId() == FO_TABLE && (ancestorID == FO_TABLE_HEADER || ancestorID == FO_TABLE_FOOTER)) {
      return -1;
  }
