New: Add New Row Toolbar Button on Table

First off, fantastic! this will save me some dev time for sure. And the future option for adding multiple rows should open up some nice UX options.

However, I would definitely want to let the user enter data into a non-editable cell. In the old Table for cases where I wanted the user to be able to add an entire record, not just the editable ones I gave them, I was forced to create a separate form to do so. Of course that was SOP with the new table until you added this feature.

In the old table, rather than a new form, I was sometimes forced to make a column editable so that the user could add that value in a new record, but I would not otherwise want them to be able to edit the value later, at least not in this particular table.

One option is to have a new flag for each column called Show When New or something like that. It could default to true for any editable columns.

I also highly recommend having an onNew event in addition to the onSave event. Making me check .newRows to see whether I am running a Bulk Update or an Insert query is not compatible with the Retool Way IMO.
