Proposal: remove deprecated youtrack format #375

Description

@kdeldycke

I'm in a deep dive into table syntax in markup languages and I reviewed all those proposed by python-tabulate. I'm really happy with the extensive list implemented into this library.

But when I stumbled upon the youtrack format, I couldn't find any syntax reference on the Jetbrains site.

All I got was this page: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/server/youtrack-markdown-syntax-issues.html#tables

But there the table format mentioned is Markdown-like. Completely different from the current implementation.

Despite searching for a different syntax for YouTrack tickets, I couldn't find a proof that YouTrack is supporting the syntax.

It's a long shot but... @purplesword, you implemented the syntax in 55a6ae4, so do you have any documentation on that syntax?

At the end of this investigation, and without any proof of support, maybe we can declare the youtrack format as deprecated and remove it from python-tabulate.
