Item11181: Create unit tests for core Table rendering, Issues found with header / footer markup

The core table code in Render.pm doesn't have any unit test coverage.

Created unit tests and noted issues:

• <th> and <strong> are redundant in the table header. Should not need to generate the strong markup.
• Code doesn't support generating table footers.

Since this behavior has been around forever, and is overridden by the TablePlugin, setting as enhancement, target Release 1.2

Found another issue - A list adjacent to a table doesn't terminate the list, so the table html runs together with the list markup. Fix to both were rather simple. Committing fixes to 1.2 - should I also apply to 1.1.4? Unit tests pass. Changed to normal. These are bugs, but masked by TablePlugin.

Between George and I we have fixed the core table rendering. However the TablePlugin remains at fault.

Will sync over to 1.1.4 - given that TablePlugin generally masks this issue, fix is low risk.
