Distribute columns (width) evenly in tables #64

Is this possible with OpenXML/this API? I haven't seen it anywhere.

I don't think it exsists in the openxml:

As per:

https://github.com/EvotecIT/OfficeIMO/pull/41/files

The width of the table that autofits to "page" is 5000 (according to @hisuwh) . So to introduce this feature, we need to add 5000/numberOfColumns I guess. Someone would need to test this theory ;-)

Actually, it was simpler than I thought. Added two methods, DistributeColumnsEvenly and SetWidthPercentage, which can help split the table as you want it. Haven't tested if there are specific column sizes defined, may need to be adjusted to remove specific sizing of columns when defining that. Will require testing
