This PR adds a rudimentary ability to generate basic and complex tables for performance testing, debugging, and amusement.
Basic usage:
Help:
Basic table: A table where all cells are 1x1.
Complex table: Any table with a cell specifying a colSpan or rowSpan greater than 1.
The added scripts/generate.md documents the generation script's functionality.
Known issues:
This script is presently prone to falling into a continuous loop and will remain a draft until it is stablized. Because it is random it is especially tough to debug.
Additionally, when printing a generated table, the table might not produce the "expected" output". It can be tough to discern if the problem is in the generated data or in cli-table3's layout rendering. (So far, after #278, I've found that it usually is in the generated dated)
