Item2229: EditRowPlugin dies horribly, needs better headings support

Context

Multi-line table headings are required. The headings are common; it is desirable to have them unified and defined in one place. An include param to a topic with the desired EDITTABLE{header= setup appears to be insufficient.

This mess then followed:

%EDITTABLE% 
%INCLUDE{"%TOPIC%" section="header"}%
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| d | 4 |

%STARTSECTION{"header"}% | *Heading1* | *Heading2* |%ENDSECTION{"header"}%

When clicking the "edit whole table" link, this happens:

Foswiki detected an internal error - please check your Foswiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Can't call method "renderForEdit" on an undefined value

Apache error logs attached.

It's unreasonable to expect any table editing plugin to cope with a scenario where the table is composed using macros. But it shouldn't crash.
