Open items for future PRs related primarily to table

[monfera]

• add event callbacks to table Table view - squashed #2052 (comment) including plotly_hover and plotly_click events on the cells Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• roll back gup utils to parcoords: Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• get rid of camelcased classnames (use dashed) and put all classnames into constants.js: Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• discuss and plan cell editing and possibly other related functionality (request, reply)
• represent full table state via attributes (in) and callbacks (out) such that users can specify and/or receive, in logical units (row item) where we are in scrolling; similar full state representation for other interactions such as column drag&drop Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• put back valign (used to be there but needs a bit of work to handle cases of LaTeX etc.)
• do more to avoid wrapping: initial render should try to render straight away (no wrapping) and iff it breaches constraints, wrapping is invoked - this makes the current 2-step process into a 3-step process but CPU upside is big if no or few cells need wrapping (worth optimizing for the plainer case and negligible cycle loss even in the worst case)
• support individual border lines in addition to boxes; maybe border collapse?
• Support for 1D header values Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• Better handling of MathJax fill color styling Table view - squashed #2052 (comment)
• Support header.format scalar value https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/2052/files#r142410512
• Reuse plots/font_attributes.js https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/2052/files#r142410981
• Move <clipPath> to fullLayout._clips https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/2052/files#r142418318
• Jasmine tests
• Checking for render glitch (high speed scrolling and then stopping) and fixing it (issue found by @rreusser )
• More defaults.js logic to let users make do with fewer attributes, for example,
  • lines shouldn't be needed,
  • missing values (fewer or shorter vectors) could be filled with ""
  • cell heights should have the minimum of 2x the lowest font height in the row
• [ ] Fix scrollwheel scrolling issues in IE and FF now in table rows disappear on scroll in IE #3986
• At least one more mock
• Fix dominant-baseline / alignment-baseline related issues found by @alexcjohnson
• Look into the vertical alignment issue on CI in cells with wrapped text (looks fine in the wild; issue found by @alexcjohnson ) or await the switch to the Electron based tester by @etpinard

Nice suggestions from the community forum:

1. Remove the vertical grid lines (cell borders), so there’s only horizontal borders in the table
2. Disable column drag-and-drop
3. Disable the fixed header row behaviour when scrolling a long table
4. Highlight the current row on hover

More ideas:

• Creating frozen columns (similar to header - but for columns) cc Table: Creating frozen columns (similar to header - but for columns) #3705

Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
