quarto treats tables from `kableExtra` (`tabu`) as subtables

[lbelzile]

Bug description

Long tables generated by kableExtra are created using the tabu environment (rather than tabular) and the captions are incorrect (the LaTeX code generated includes a subcaption and the caption from the YAML tbl-cap instruction is missing.

```{r}
#| label: tbl-test1

#| tbl-cap: "Table caption"
data("mtcars")
knitr::kable(mtcars[1:5,],
             row.names = FALSE)
```

```{r}
#| label: tbl-test2
#| echo: false
#| tbl-cap: "Table caption"
knitr::kable(mtcars[1:5,],

  kableExtra::kable_styling(full_width = TRUE)
