doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementation

Implements the reST flat-table directive.

The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
some additional features:

* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
  additional columns

* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
  additional rows

* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
  side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
  changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty)

list tables

  The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the
  ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the
  text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify
  and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because
  it is limited to the modified content.

The initial implementation was taken from the sphkerneldoc project [1]

list tables
-----------
We recommend the use of *list table* formats. The *list table* formats are
double-stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they might not be as
comfortable for
readers of the text files. Their advantage is that they are easy to
create or modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningful,
because it is limited to the modified content.
The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
some additional features:
* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
additional columns
* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
additional rows
* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automatically inserts (empty)
cells instead of spanning the last cell.
options:
* ``:header-rows:`` [int] count of header rows
* ``:stub-columns:`` [int] count of stub columns
* ``:widths:`` [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
* ``:fill-cells:`` instead of auto-spanning missing cells, insert missing cells
roles:
* ``:cspan:`` [int] additional columns (*morecols*)
* ``:rspan:`` [int] additional rows (*morerows*)
The example below shows how to use this markup. The first level of the staged
list is the *table-row*. In the *table-row* there is only one markup allowed,
the list of the cells in this *table-row*. Exceptions are *comments* ( ``..`` )
and *targets* (e.g. a ref to ``:ref:`last row <last row>``` / :ref:`last row
<last row>`).

.. flat-table:: table title
:widths: 2 1 1 3
* - head col 1
- head col 2
- head col 3
- head col 4
* - column 1
- field 1.1
- field 1.2 with autospan
* - column 2
- field 2.1
- :rspan:`1` :cspan:`1` field 2.2 - 3.3
* .. _`last row`:
- column 3
