A table was written as a grid table only if it had spans or a footer, or if `writerColumns >= 8 * numcols`. A wider table with block content in a cell therefore fell back to raw HTML, even with grid_tables enabled; with the default 72 columns that is any table of ten or more columns. The width check was added inea619bfcb(2017, #2834) to fix grid tables nested in grid tables. The old grid writer gave each column `floor(columns * share) - 3` characters and rendered cell contents with `writerColumns` reduced to the column width, so nested tables got narrower at each level. Below about 8 characters per column those widths reached zero or went negative and the layout broke. The `gridTable` rewrite in01257ef6e(pandoc 3.7) removed that failure mode. A column is never made narrower than its content (or, when wrapping, than its longest unbreakable word), and cells are rendered with unchanged `opts`, so `writerColumns` no longer shrinks for nested content. The RST and Muse writers already call the same `gridTable` with no width check, and the Markdown writer already writes grid tables wider than `columns` when a table has spans or a footer. The check is therefore removed. This follows the preference stated in7c2dd0359for markdown tables over raw HTML. No existing test output changes. Closes #11945.

A table with more columns than columns / 8 is still written as a grid
table, rather than falling back to raw HTML.

This includes a table with block content in a cell, which has no other markdown representation.
