Description:
This is to allow using a column as if it's a java.util.List, as well as
some column-related utility methods.

In our offline discussion, adding it to the open source is one
alternative. The concern against adding it to open source:

We don't want to increase the size of download for non-essential
value-add functionalities.

But from our discussion I got the impression that this may not suffer
the problem because:

* It's a separate class that client doesn't have to use. The core
AbstractDataTabl3 has no dependency on it. When it's not used, GWT will
optimize it away.

* Its internal anonymous classes will be optimized away if not used. For
example, if client only uses DataColumn.numbers(), the code for
strings/integers/dates etc will be optimized.

So I thought sending it here is still the first step since it could add
some convenience for open source users.
