When odd levels are being used, change the interpretation of a
numerical arg to S-TAB.

org.el (org-offer-links-in-entry): Don't use "Select link" as a prompt
in the temporary window.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-bulk-mark): Use a slightly soberer prefix for
marked entries in the agenda view.

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 width and alignment in table columns can be set with a cookie like
"<10>" or "<r>" or "<r10>". In order to keep Org from exporting such
lines, the first column of a line can contain only "/". However, for
convenience, this commit implements a special case: If the entire row
contains only sch markers, the line will automatically be discarded
during export.

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.
