Return the table in create_table

[sqlalchemy-bot]

Migrated issue, originally created by Antoine Bertin (@diaoul)

This is useful for subsequent bulk_insert calls.
Use case: create a constant table an fill it with constant data (a role table for example)

Other way to ease this is to allow bulk_insert to take the table name (string) as first argument.

• The :class:~sqlalchemy.schema.Table object is now returned when
