Changes the layout of the timetable PDF when the advanced option 'Print abstract content of all contributions' is selected.

ReportLab is unable to split table rows when the content is bigger than the page it's placed upon, as described by the discussion linked in the bug report by @bcc.

To overcome this limitation, the timetable will not be contained in a table if the option to print the abstracts is set. The document is slightly different, but still provides the same information. If that option is unset, the previous layout persists.

Closes #4881.

I only skimmed the diff (legacy code after all...) but AFAICT it looks good. So if it works fine I think it's good to go
