Fix #3185. Applying a conditional style to an entire row or column applies the Excel 2007+ limits (16,384 columns and 1,048,576 rows). However, Excel 2003- has different limits (256 columns and 65,536 rows). Trying to use the larger limits in an Xls spreadsheet results in a corrupt file. Xls Writer is changed to adjust ranges appropriately.
The issue also mentions that there might be a problem if a spreadsheet contains CF rules for both whole rows and whole columns. I am unable to corroborate this; the code from the new test can be used to generate an Xls file which is usable, and which has both row and column conditional styles.
However, testing showed that Xls Writer did not handle conditions correctly for floating point, negative integers, or integers > 65535. These should now be handled correctly.
