Add capability to fix columns and rows for the `Element.table` function when table is scrollable. #219

In a lot of data table libraries there's capability to fix columns and rows when the table is scrollable, analogous to how rows and columns can be frozen in Microsoft Excel.

Personally, I think this would be a nice feature to have in the Element.table function in elm-ui however I have no idea what the best API implementation would be for this.

Obviously it wouldn't make much sense to be able to fix the third column and not fix the first two. Maybe a good starting point would be to add the capability to fix the column headers?

When you say fix do you mean something like position: sticky?

Yep. Apologies for not being clear.
