Add explicit 'auto' property to handle variable height table cells.

[brandonscript]

It appears that variable height tables/collections are not working any longer and/or the auto-height of text controls is not working. Only time these would need to be variable height is when text or attributed text controls are used. Perhaps we need to use something like this to calculate the height of all text-based controls (not layouts or images)? To use variable height tables, you should also have to explicitly set the cell.size.h (or cell.size.height if you're using long-form) attribute to auto.

Here is an example of what should be required to set a variable height table cell (note auto height on cell.size and auto height on the text control).

{
    "_id": "collectionRestaurants",
    "_type": "Table",
    "attributes": {
        "cell.size": "100%,auto",
        "data.basepath": "entities",
        "datasource.id": "dataRestaurants"
    },
    "controls": [
        {
            "_id": "layoutRestaurantList",
            "_type": "Layout",
            "attributes": {
                "bg.color": "#fafafa",
                "size": "100%"
            },
            "controls": [
                {
                    "_type": "AttributedText",
                    "attributes": {
                        "color": "#FF4300",
                        "font": "FontAwesome:18",
                        "size": "50%,20",
                        "text": "[[$row.firstName]] [[$row.lastName]]",
                        "text.align": "center"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "_type": "Text",
                    "attributes": {
                        "align.v": "middle",
                        "color": "#6c6c6c",
                        "font": "HelveticaNeue-Light:11",
                        "size": "100%,auto",
                        "text": "UUID: [[$row.bio]]",
                        "text.align": "justify"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Fixed. See https://github.com/ApigeeDelta/ignite-iOS-engine/commit/8c6b5729bd769f55ecf8ec8fa1aebe6efb48226a

[brandonscript]

This should be specifically documented - also see note in original ticket about adding auto property to reduce ambiguity.

[brandonscript]

This is now documented. All that's left is to add auto attribute for explicitly defining auto height.
