Table Input

[José Pereda]

As Daniel points out, the TableView2 control is a Gluon contribution that
has been merged recently to ControlsFX, but it hasn't been released yet.
Actually there is a pending PR to rename the new control to
FixableTableView.

Regarding commit on focus, it has been implemented in two new table cell
factories, for TextField and ComboBox cells [2].

You can use the snapshot to test it, and of course, you can clone the
repository, there are two samples [1] available.
