Org reader: stop padding short table rows

Emacs Org-mode doesn't add any padding to table rows.  The first
row (header or first body row) is used to determine the column count, no
other magic is performed.

The org reader was padding rows to the length of the longest table row.
This was done due to a misunderstanding of how Org handles tables.  This
feature reflected how Org-mode handles tables when pressing <TAB>.  The
Org exporter however, which is what the reader should implement, doesn't
do any of this.  So this was a mis-feature that made the reader more
complex and reduced comparability.  It was hence removed.
