table captions placement

[shimizukawa]

I'd like to define if table titles (captions) are placed before or after the table.

Caption's placement with figures and tables is simply determined by the \caption{...} being given before or after the includegraphics command resp. tabulary environment.

This is solved by merge of #3686 (which is based on the table templates from #3389, 2a37b0e). The user can position the caption after table using the templates. The \sphinxaftercaption should not be used then, and the \sphinxcapstartof{table} should stay where it is, if one wants internal hyperlink to go to top of table.

What is lacking is a config setting to do this automatically, but already user can use custom templates modifying the defaults.
