[Bug 17513] Unclear how width of absolutely positioned table is determined

Simon Sapin notes that there are two different algorithms that could
potentially apply:

10.3.7 Absolutely positioned, non-replaced elements
17.5.2 Table width algorithms: the 'table-layout' property (and 
sub-sections)

and he suggests that a reasonable way to resolve the conflict is to combine
them by taking the used width (the result) from 10.3.7 and pretending that it
is the computed width  (one of the "input") for the purpose of 17.5.2, and then
keep *that* used value.
