Patch proposal + Layout test

Back on business... I think this one is the good one, for a variety of reasons:

  * It doesn't assume that GTK ignores accessibility for table rows (which is something happening right now, but could/should change in the future). Instead, it adds extra code for the GTK platform so it works as expected _in case_ it's ignoring accessibility for rows. This means that if in the future we decide not to ignore rows anymore, current code in AccessibilityGrid and AccessibilityGridCell should still work fine.

  * It works fine for different test cases I tried, inspired both in the aria-tables-hierarchy.html and aria-tables.html test cases.

  * I checked with Accerciser and there's currently no difference, from AT's point of view, between HTML and ARIA tables (which is what this bug is about).

  * It should keep the same behavior than before for other platforms (I carefully checked this by visually inspecting the diff).

Of course, no sw/patch is free of bugs, but I think this patch is worth considering for review anyway... :)
