add get_entry and get_entry_without_label to table

added two new methods to the table class -- `get_entry(pos)` and `get_entry_without_label(pos)` -- that return a single vmobject at the given position. they just delegate to the existing `get_entries` and `get_entries_without_labels` methods so nothing breaks, but now you have dedicated single-entry methods with proper explicit return types instead of the weird union return on the plural methods. the original methods are untouched for backward compat.
