Support in tables as source for different thousand and decimal separators

[stefanbg]

Description of the feature

When loading data from an HTML table, we have no way of defining thousandSep, decimalPoint options. This feature request is about introducing those options.

Example

When we have an HTML data table filled like this:

<td>30 386,16</td>
<td>28 504,26</td>

we should be able to set thousandSep: ' ', decimalPoint: ','. Currently, an error is being thrown with this HTML table (Highcharts Error #14 - String value sent to series.data, expected Number)

Library related to the feature

Most likely the data.js module.
