* Optionally use ISO formatting for dates
Prior to this commit we always used the date pattern as
assigned in the Excel workbook for the cell. Which could
lead to surprising results.
We now allow the dates to be formatted as an ISO date time with
offset, so dates/times are consistently formatted in the result.
Closes: #88
Both Apache POI and the AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader aren't threadsafe
and thus the Excel based item readers aren't usable with multiple threads. A note
on this has been added to the documentation.
Closes: #48
