While it would have been simple to just change existing uses from `Table` to `Table<Element>`, the changes are done more appropriately. In particular, if a table does not use tabs at all, the type parameter can be `Void`, and in other situations, the type parameter can be a subtype of `Element`, such as `ModuleElement`, `PackageElement` or `TypeElement`.

I note that in demo JDK docs, there are only about half-a-dozen spec hosts, so table tabs are a reasonable compromise for now.

Very nice work, Jon! Looks good to me.
