Support Tables

[hyandell]

Guava's Tables don't quite fit under map-like types, though they're often used
in place of nested maps. In particular, ImmutableTables don't construct
themselves as nested maps; instead, they construct cell-by-cell. Therefore,
handle them as paramterized beans.

Oh shoot. I somehow managed to let this fall through the cracks. :-(

First, apologies for the delay with follow-up. Due to bit of overlap with #73, I decided it might be best to pick up pieces, and so I manually merged serialization side from this PR. So it is probably not possibly to directly merge this PR, but I will try to continue with deser with this and/or #73; I'll have to think about best way (since functionalities differ a bit wrt coverage, implementation).

Thank you again for implementing the support; it is sorely needed.

I'm fine with merging with #73. The exact approach taken isn't the most
important to me, just that we can serde with Tables, including the
immutable variant. I tried to take inspiration from the ImmutableMap and
Multimap types, and ensure that row/column values can be more than just
primitive types. Those were the features that I needed, so that's where I
started.
