After going over the OOo stats for the table related entries in Writer's
context menu, i'm changing this bug to be an overhaul for all these entries.

Step 1: Submenu Reorganization
The context menu is broken up into submenus for cell, row and column and it
would be better that it go according to the table menu which has insert,
delete, and select. Also calc's context menu has similar insert and delete
options after selecting a cell or row.

Step 2: New Submenus
1) With the removal of the cell submenu, its cell alignment entries should be
converted into its own dedicated submenu.
2) With the removal of the row and column submenus, the width... and height...
entries can be put into an auofit submenu with entries from Table > Autofit.
3) Cell and table split and merge entries in the menu and submenus can be
merged into a submenu.
4) As number format is the second most used table related entry in the context
menu, it would be useful to have this as a submenu with the various number
formats and a 'more options' entry at the bottom.

Step 3: Entry Removal
1) Table Boundaries - the stats show that ~100% of users set this setting in
the Table menu.
2) Number Recognition - as this entry is only available in the context menu,
all users set this in the context menu, though its usage is low (its usage is
~50% the usage of table boundaries).
3) Caption - unfortunately their isnt separate stats often its use with tables
but i believe it is primarily used with images and charts.

Step 4: Entry Addition
1) AutoFormat - ~20% of users are accessing this in the Table menu, so it would
be good to have this at easy reach and ideally label as 'Table Style' or
something like that.

Step 5: Section Placement
This section should be located above the character/paragraph section.

Overall the stats show that people primarily open the context menu for the
table and number format dialogs and split table. Table manipulation and design
are primarily handled in the table toolbar.
