Pull Request for Issue # .

Summary of Changes

This pull request introduces a new utility method to the Joomla\CMS\Table\Table class:

• getData() – returns the data of the current table record as an associative array. It is needed because developers currently lack a simple and consistent way to retrieve all field values from a Table object. They have to use workarounds such as ArrayHelper::fromObject, get_object_vars or CMSHelper getRowData, CMSHelper getDataObject. Having this method will make make it easier to receive the data from Table object.

Testing Instructions

As this is a new method, I do not really know how to give testing instructions. Maybe it would require maintainer code review?
