5.2 For data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers, use markup to associate data cells and header cells. [Priority 1]

For example, in HTML, use THEAD, TFOOT, and TBODY to group rows, COL and COLGROUP to group columns, and the "axis", "scope", and "headers" attributes, to describe more complex relationships among data.

In gradebook, User names should be headers with scope = "row". Almost all moodle table has <th> tag. We may need to add the default scope to column in all tables.

Added table header scope to all <th>s in moodle. Added code to tablelib and weblib, so when creating new tables headers always come with default scope="col".
