Subject: [PATCH] Allow :var header args to be assigned to cons cells

* lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-disassemble-tables,
org-babel-gnuplot-process-vars): Use `proper-list-p' check instead of
`listp'.
(org-babel-disassemble-tables): Check list length before trying to
remove hline from a table assignment.
* testing/lisp/test-ob.el (test-ob/cons-cell-as-variable): Add the
test.
