[Wishlist] Fix the table header so that it's always visible when scrolling a long page #38

I like to work with large page sizes (eg 50, though more would be nice too) and 
it's a little awkward 
having to scroll to the top in order to perform operations on cells beyond a 
simple edit.

So I propose fixing the header to the top of the scrolling viewport and only 
scrolling the content 
cells. This can be achieved relatively easily using <thead> for the heading 
cells and overflow-y: 
scroll on <tbody> (if I recall correctly, I haven't looked into this in great 
detail)

ah, didn't know one could use overflow differently on thead and tbody... if so, 
you're right, it should be pretty 
trivial. I'll try it.

Here's a starter on this that I think produces the requisite 
table+thead/th+tbody/td structure. Only tested in Chrome! A CSS whiz can step 
in and finish it.

From what I've seen & having tried it myself it's not straightforward with the 
non-fixed width column & horiz scrollbar requirements of Refine. 
https://github.com/golovko/Fixed-Header-Table seemed to me a good starting 
point (out of about two dozen I Iooked at...)
