Tables: more consistent use of CellPadding.x*2 and clip-rect on right-most side of non-bordered column + fix cellbg for standalone TableHeader call.

Using CellPadding.x on both sides when BorderV is off, generally most consistent and with default value (4,2) promotes at-glance visible spacing between non-bordered columns. Effectively double horizontal padding on non-bordered columns.
Made ClipRect.Max.x matches WorkMaxX which is where we'd like to go for windows themselves.
TableHeader() submit single cell bg color if not already submitted as a full header row.

 ### Upcoming Changes
 
 Some of the goals for 2020 are:
-- Work on new Tables API (to replace Columns). (see [#2957](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2957), in public [tables](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/tables) branch looking for feedback)
+- Work on Tables (see [#2957](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2957), now merged in master.
 - Work on Docking (see [#2109](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2109), in public [docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/docking) branch)
 - Work on Multi-Viewport / Multiple OS windows. (see [#1542](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1542), in public [docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/docking) branch looking for feedback)
 - Work on gamepad/keyboard controls. (see [#787](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/787))

  - group: IsHovered() after EndGroup() covers whole aabb rather than the intersection of individual items. Is that desirable?
  - group: merge deactivation/activation within same group (fwd WasEdited flag). (#2550)
 
- - columns: sizing policy (e.g. for each column: fixed size, %, fill, distribute default size among fills) (#513, #125)
- - columns: add a conditional parameter to SetColumnOffset() (#513, #125)
- - columns: headers. re-orderable. (#513, #125)
- - columns: optional sorting modifiers (up/down), sort list so sorting can be done multi-criteria. notify user when sort order changed.
- - columns: option to alternate background colors on odd/even scanlines.
- - columns: allow columns to recurse.
- - columns: allow a same columns set to be interrupted by e.g. CollapsingHeader and resume with columns in sync when moving them.
- - columns: sizing is lossy when columns width is very small (default width may turn negative etc.)
- - columns: separator function or parameter that works within the column (currently Separator() bypass all columns) (#125)
- - columns: flag to add horizontal separator above/below)
- - columns/layout: setup minimum line height (equivalent of automatically calling AlignFirstTextHeightToWidgets)
-
 !- color: the color conversion helpers/types are a mess and needs sorting out.
  - color: (api breaking) ImGui::ColorConvertXXX functions should be loose ImColorConvertXX to match imgui_internals.h
