Originally, the table formatting code was written to display a number of records, one per line, and within each line multiple fields of the same record. The first line contains the column names. It was then started to be used in a "vertical" mode however, i.e. with field names on the left instead of the top. Let's support such a mode explicitly, so that we can provide systematic styling, and can properly convert this mode to JSON. A new constructor "table_new_vertical()" is added creating such "vertical" tables. Internally, this is a table with two columns: "key" and "value". When outputting this as JSON we'll output a single JSON object, with key/value as fields. (Which is different from the traditional output where we'd use the first line as JSON field names, and output an array of objects). A new cell type TABLE_FIELD is added for specifically marking the "field" cells, i.e. the cells in the first column. We'll automatically suffic ":" to these fields on output.
