<col> and <colgroup> don't really have the concept of preferred logical widths as they have no content. We use their styling information to size the cell's logical width.

There are several (forceful) calls to RenderTableCol::computePreferredLogicalWidths in the code because we need to propagate any preferred logical widths dirtying to the table but that's just artificial.

Forwarding any layout hint to the table would remove some clunky code inside table. Patch forthcoming.
