Optimize layout performance of Table (#17947)

Adds functions for skipping child component layout measuring.
Removes unnecessary code from VScrollTable.

1. case: no components

- render time without the fix: ~105ms 
- render time with fix: ~105ms 

2. case: 2 button and 2 textfield cols

- render time without the fix: ~279ms 
- render time with fix: ~240ms (~17% faster) 

3. case: 3 button and 3 textfield cols

- render time without the fix: ~350ms 
- render time with fix: ~281ms (~20% faster)
