In some cases, like for SV-COMP, the header of HTML tables is still large even after clicking "Shrink Header". However, other rows in the header would be sufficient for the user to distinguish the columns. Thus, it could be useful for the user to be able to choose manually which header rows to show (could be integrated in the "Filter Rows" dialog, e.g., with a checkbox for each header row).

This provides a complete rewrite of the HTML tables that `table-generator` produces. Instead of statically creating a HTML `<table>`, we now insert the data as JSON and use [React](https://reactjs.org/) to render a table dynamically. Furthermore, all the spaghetti code for interactive features like plots is now completely replaced by a proper architecture using React components, and there exists infrastructure to test this.

Some new features like better row filters and improvements have also been added based on a user study. But the main advantage is that it is now possible to open large tables in browsers without long waiting periods.

The studies and the rewrite were done by @bschor and a report about this is available as her [Bachelor's thesis](https://www.sosy-lab.org/research/bsc/2019.Bschor.Modern_Architecture_and_Improved_UI_for_Tables_of_BenchExec.pdf).

Users who whish to continue using the old tables can pass `--static-table` to `table-generator`, but we expect this to be removed in BenchExec 3.0.
