Description
I think it would be possible to support basic foreign key joins on the table page.
The user could specify columns that should result in a join (from a set of suggestions similar to how facets work right now) and they could then be passed as ?_join=city_id arguments.
This feature will make a lot of sense when combined with the ability to show / hide / customize columns, see #292

Research direction
Start by reading the table page's existing facet behavior and the related column customization work in #292. Define how foreign-key columns are suggested and how selecting one produces a _join argument; done should include a working basic join flow on the table page.
