Description
In order to harmonize gap handling between all layouts, row-gap, column-gap and gap should also apply to tables.
This would deprecate border-spacing like it was done for the grid-*-gap properties before.

Research direction
Start with the CSS Tables Level 3 definition linked from the issue and compare how row-gap, column-gap, and gap are specified for other layouts. Determine the required table behavior and how deprecating border-spacing would affect the specification; done means the tables specification clearly defines the new properties and their relationship to border-spacing.
