[Table] Proposal: Change the md-row from flexbox to a grid

[Leonzen]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Proposal

What is the expected behavior?

The md-cells of a md-row should be placed in a grid system like md-grid-list or something linke that

What is the current behavior?

The md-row is a flexbox and if the value one cell is to big, the other cell values will be pushed away but the values of the header are not moving.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

If the cells are not flex its easier to make a good looking table. Also if the table need more than 10 columns the values will need space except for a table filled only with numbers.

Is there anything else we should know?

Make a table which is more responsiv it will look better

Flexbox makes column alignment very tricky. There is another similar issue #6058

With regards to the "cell is too big" issue, you'll just want to make sure the cell's overflow is set to hidden and let the content wrap itself. You can read more about this in the referenced issue #6058.

Besides this, are there any other benefits of display: table that we should look into?
