[Bug 24654] Add definition of ”layout table” and make it equal to tables or role=presentation

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24654

--- Comment #6 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> ---
If we have ”page layout tables” in mind, then there are actually two kinds of
such layout tables:

1) There are the ”semantic” layout tables which simply uses such tables to
create page columns - for example a 3 column page, perhaps with a footer and
header as well.

2) And then there are the positioning tables, which uses tables as a method for
positioning other objects. In this sceneriao tables replaces CSS
position="absolute" and/or position="relative". This method has much in common
with using tables to crate images - where each cell is one pixel, and all the
pixels make up a image.

I don’t know if is important to separate the two, however.
