[rules-users] Get GuidedDecisionTable from Guvnor

[Michael Anstis]

XLS decision tables are not converted into GuidedDecisionTable52 models,
only as the class name suggests "guided" decision tables authored in
Guvnor. I am however working on providing BRL columns in the guided
decision table (which will include free-format DRL) which is a pre-cursor
for round-tripping between XLS->Guvnor guided dtables->XLS.
