expand output formats

In general, it would be good to expand the as_ methods to cover the following:

• as_csv
• as_md
• as_pdf (maybe unecessary if you have as_md as the user can just use rmd to do it, but potentially helpful)
• as_tibble/as_data.frame

Less core ideas that could be useful for transmitting/modifying information

• as_json
• as_xml

The issue with most of these is the same as with flextable. A tibble/csv/md table cannot have nested column structures in a meaningful way, so what those as_* functions would do will need to be discussed, as it is not obvious

We now have a (lossy) tibble/tsv conversion and a non-lossy pdf conversion. No current plants to do an md since we have HTML already, and xml is a duplicate, so closing this issue.
