column_data_type html doesn't fallback to text

[JeroenvO]

When column_data_type is set to 'html', and (some) cells do not contain sub-html-elements, the contents is discarded. This is due to the $(..) on line https://github.com/vedmack/yadcf/blob/master/src/jquery.dataTables.yadcf.js#L2288. The $(..) returns an empty string when a plain text input is given.

Suggested fix: change line https://github.com/KolibriSolutions/yadcf/blob/master/src/jquery.dataTables.yadcf.js#L2332, to take the originall cell content instead of col_inner_elements

Related to issue #96, as the selector property is used which is no longer in the latest jquery version

please provide a jsfiddle test page so I check / test it

Ok

• No problems using jquery 1.x: https://jsfiddle.net/jeroenvo/Lfez4tm6/24/ Both the cell wrapped in a span and the plaintext cell are shown in the dropdown menu of the filter.
• Jquery 3.x doesn't show the text-only element in dropdown: https://jsfiddle.net/jeroenvo/bzc853hc/6/

See https://api.jquery.com/selector/ for the deprication notice.

i found around 90 usages of .selector in your code. I don't know if they all refer to the depricated jquery property, but anyway it will require a large rewrite to fix make everything compatible with the latest jquery.
