Drop table mappings support #345

Should we drop support for Table mappings in the framework? This didn't work as expected so far

Yeah, that was in idea for the project focusing on extracting better and more data for car-related stuff. I wouldn't mind if it was removed.

Please don't drop! We're getting into some Automotive stuff (brands, races, series etc) and can work on fixing whatever doesn't work.

TableMap Wikipedia Sample Notes
Automobile BMW_3_Series extract engines & sales. Fixed a bit
Race 2015_Firestone_Grand_Prix_of_St._Petersburg extract race results
Championship 2015_IndyCar_Series extract championship teams, drivers

I fixed a bit the Automobile map and it produces results on the indicated sample (though attaches the Sales numbers to BMW 3 Series (F30/F31) which is the last infobox on the page, rather than to BMW 3 Series overall).

Unfortunately I have no luck with the other 2 maps I created. I suspect the reason is that the tables in the indicated sample pages have a more complex structure:

It's either this, or these two new table maps are somehow not enacted by the server? @jimkont or @jcsahnwaldt please help!
