/**
View class responsible for rendering the `<thead>` section of a table. Used as
the default `headerView` for `Y.DataTable.Base` and `Y.DataTable` classes.

Translates the provided array of column configuration objects into a rendered
`<thead>` based on the data in those objects.


The structure of the column data is expected to be a single array of objects,
where each object corresponds to a `<th>`.  Those objects may contain a
`children` property containing a similarly structured array to indicate the
nested cells should be grouped under the parent column's colspan in a separate
row of header cells. E.g.

<pre><code>
new Y.DataTable.HeaderView({
  container: tableNode,
  columns: [
    { key: 'id' }, // no nesting
    { key: 'name', children: [
      { key: 'firstName', label: 'First' },
      { key: 'lastName',  label: 'Last' } ] }
  ]
}).render();
</code></pre>

This would translate to the following visualization:

<pre>
---------------------
|    |     name     |
|    |---------------
| id | First | Last |
---------------------
</pre>

Supported properties of the column objects include:

  * `label`     - The HTML content of the header cell.
  * `key`       - If `label` is not specified, the `key` is used for content.
  * `children`  - Array of columns to appear below this column in the next
                  row.
  * `headerTemplate` - Overrides the instance's `CELL_TEMPLATE` for cells in this
    column only.
  * `abbr`      - The content of the 'abbr' attribute of the `<th>`
  * `title`     - The content of the 'title' attribute of the `<th>`
  * `className` - Adds this string of CSS classes to the column header

Through the life of instantiation and rendering, the column objects will have
the following properties added to them:

  * `id`       - (Defaulted by DataTable) The id to assign the rendered column
  * `_colspan` - To supply the `<th>` attribute
  * `_rowspan` - To supply the `<th>` attribute
  * `_parent`  - (Added by DataTable) If the column is a child of another
    column, this points to its parent column

The column object is also used to provide values for {placeholder} tokens in the
instance's `CELL_TEMPLATE`, so you can modify the template and include other
column object properties to populate them.

    Translate the input column format into a structure useful for rendering a

    objects may contain a `children` property containing a similarly structured
    array to indicate the nested cells should be grouped under the parent
    column's colspan in a separate row of header cells. E.g.

    <pre><code>
    [
      { key: 'id' }, // no nesting
      { key: 'name', children: [
        { key: 'firstName', label: 'First' },
        { key: 'lastName',  label: 'Last' } ] }
    ]
    </code></pre>

    would indicate two header rows with the first column 'id' being assigned a
    `rowspan` of `2`, the 'name' column appearing in the first row with a
    `colspan` of `2`, and the 'firstName' and 'lastName' columns appearing in
    the second row, below the 'name' column.

    <pre>
    ---------------------
    |    |     name     |
    |    |---------------
    | id | First | Last |
    ---------------------
    </pre>

    Supported properties of the column objects include:

      * `label`    - The HTML content of the header cell.
      * `key`      - If `label` is not specified, the `key` is used for content.
      * `children` - Array of columns to appear below this column in the next
                     row.
      * `abbr`     - The content of the 'abbr' attribute of the `<th>`
      * `title`    - The content of the 'title' attribute of the `<th>`
      * `headerTemplate` - Overrides the instance's `CELL_TEMPLATE` for cells
        in this column only.

    The output structure is basically a simulation of the `<thead>` structure
    with arrays for rows and objects for cells.  Column objects have the
    following properties added to them:

      * `id`       - (Defaulted by DataTable) The id to assign the rendered
                     column
      * `_colspan` - Per the `<th>` attribute
      * `_rowspan` - Per the `<th>` attribute
      * `_parent`  - (Added by DataTable) If the column is a child of another
        column, this points to its parent column

    The column object is also used to provide values for {placeholder}
    replacement in the `CELL_TEMPLATE`, so you can modify the template and
    include other column object properties to populate them.
