As you know, multicolumn support in PrettyTables.jl is a feature I've wanted for a while.

This PR is to add that support for the :latex backend. The reason to add multicolumn support to the latex backend, as opposed to html or plain text, is because of Latex's useful \multicol command. So we don't have to worry about whitespace at all.

To be honest, my plan for this PR is to get a working prototype together, add tests, and then pass it off to you to for final organization into the total pretty_table pipeline.

This is a minimal start for now. I will ping you when I have something you should actually review.

Hi @pdeffebach !

Sorry for the delay. For some reason, I did not receive notification about this PR. Some tests failed, can you please check?

Sorry i was over ambitious with starting this. Been very busy with school, but will return attention to this soon hopefully.

We now have the capability to merge cells in the column labels (header) in the v3.
