This commit sets up such a variable, and also a hook.

The category can contain a bracket link. This commit makes sure that
the prefix in the agenda looks OK if there is a link, and that the
link is accessible with `C-c C-o 0'.

There was an issue that lines starting with a space followed by #
would be protected when importing the file, but not unprotected when
formatting the example. The reason for this issue is that we recently
changed to protect indented #+ lines.

Indeed, and this commit pops `org-table-last-alignment' if the first
column has been removed by `org-table-clean-before-export'. The same
problem must have caused a one-off error when setting the alignment in
LaTeX tables, bu it seems nobody has noticed this so far. Anyway,
also this is fixed now.

The new keys are b and f. This used to be on the cursor keys, but
they do now again do cursor motion.
This is a significant change in the UI, I hope this will not cause too
many problems.
