[backend] Add table element

DISCLAIMER: with the table collection element feature, I'm trying to follow the https://stacking.dev/ principles (Pointed out by @peter_baserow) to figure out what are the benefits and what are the drawbacks of such method in Baserow. As consequence, you'll see a lot of small MRs and may be sometimes it will break a bit the usual patterns we use in Baserow.

What is in this MR

This MR adds the table element, it's only the backend part for now. This element can have a data_source associated but this data source must reference a collection service. A collection service is a service that returns a list of records like the LocalBaserowListRowService.

How to test this MR

As it's backend only, you don't have much to test in this MR, however you can:

  • Read the test file and check any tests you would have done are there.
  • Take a look at the redoc documentation and see if it fits what's expected.
  • Check the import/export feature.
