[Orgmode] table.el support restored

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi everyone,

a few recent threads alerted me to the fact that the support for  
table.el tables was totally broken in recent versions of Org-mode.   
While I don't use this, I think it is a very nice feature to have.

Support for table.el tables is now restored, with the following  
important changes.

1. You cannot edit these tables in the buffer, you must
   use C-c ' (the same command that also edit source code snippets)

2. LaTeX export apparently never did support these tables.  Now it does,
   including #+CAPTION, #+LABEL, and some ATTL_LaTeX settings (e.g.  
align)

I hope this proves to be useful.

- Carsten
