Table HTML includes multiple classes that don't do anything

[36degrees]

What

The template for the Table component includes a number of classes which are not used for styling.

• govuk-table__head on the <thead>
• govuk-table__body on the <tbody>
• govuk-table__row on each <tr>

We should consider removing the classes as they don't seem to have any purpose.

Why

The HTML for our components shouldn't include things that aren't needed and don't do anything.
