Resolve #382, rewrite prepareSheetXML to scale linearly (#383)

* Rewrite prepareSheetXML to scale linearly

We don't need to backfill columns into every row for most purposes
Provided makeContiguousColumns for setting styles where we do
need it for a specific region.

Added a benchmark to monitor progress. For 50,000 rows this went
from about 11 seconds to 1 second. The improvements are more
dramatic as the row/column count increases.

* Assigning that row value was redundant
