[ANN] Write Excel files with XLSX.jl v0.2.0

I hope it is OK to revive this topic. It is the only [ANN] topic I could find relating to XLSX.jl. Happy for it to be moved if that is appropriate.

I have been working on some significant updates to the package recently and have made a series of pull requests. However, the changes I’ve made are quite large and I’m still learning julia, so I wanted to ask if anyone was interested in trying out my updates before @felipenoris creates a new release (if indeed he should).

A fork of the package with my updates can be found here.

In summary, here is a quick list of the functionality I’ve added:

Formatting of cells, in particular, seems to have given rise to many issues and some discussion. For example, I think my changes address the following formatting issues: #281, #275, #259, #234, #63 and #52 (partly). They also address the questions raised on the discourse here, here (formatting but not merging), and possibly here, too.

I would welcome feedback on this PR if any one wants to give it a try. I’ll do my best to fix any issues.

I’d like to thank @felipenoris for his work to develop the package in the first place. I’d also like to thank @nhz2 for his early suggestions for improvement. I’m sure the community will be able to come up with many more!
