Add an horizontal scrollbar on the main content [#2027471]

On some administrative dashboards, especially when there is a large table, the main content comes over the right sidebar and may hide some important notices.

It should be great to add a overflow-x: auto; on the main wrapper and use a jQuery plugin to allow horizontal scrolling using the mouse whell. For example : jQuery horizontal scrollbar.

Or simply use the HTML5 javascript mouseWheel behavior.

Overflow-x added to #main_content on all pages, except on the module page when module filter ( https://drupal.org/project/module_filter ) is active.
If module filter is used and a class .page-module-filter is added to the body, overflow-x will be applied to .module-filter-squeeze.

Actual patch attached.

Other modifications :
- Background color to distinguish modules from other elements on permission page
- Same color applied on same item types on block management page to keep a visual and functionnal consistence
- Removed background color on tbody>th as it is not useful (for now at least). Applied standard text color to avoid the white text on white background problem encountered before.
