Hi devs,

Currently in xwiki syntax 2.0 we are using
|| title cell 1 || title cell2
| cell 1 | cell 2
for table syntax.

The problem is that with this grammar it's impossible to have empty
cells because you can't use || as it mean title cell.

Creole is using (see
http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0#section-Creole1.0-Tables):
|= title cell 1 |= title cell2 |
| cell 1 | cell 2 |

I propose to change our current || by |= meaning the difference with
the Creole syntax will be just that we don't need the ending |:
|= title cell 1 |= title cell2
| cell 1 | cell 2

- we generally agreed to use Creole as much as possible
- this syntax support space
- this cell header syntax is more consistent with our header syntax
(which is the Creole one ok ;))
- I think it's more readable than the current one because it's easier
to differentiate header cell and cell especially when there is lot's
of them

So here is my +1
