ob-gnuplot: Use org backend when assigning table to variable

* lisp/ob-gnuplot.el (org-babel-gnuplot-table-to-data): Switch to 'org
backend when exporting table data to plain text table.  ascii backend
incorrectly handles quote transcoders that change the column width and
sometimes throws an error.  (ascii backend simply ignores transcoded
table cells and calculates width based on the initial cell text).
