RATE Function Permits Floating Point NPER

Suggested by PR #848 from @markkimsal. The RATE calculation had already been corrected, so that part of the PR was unnecessary, however one of the tests included a floating point value for Number of Periods, which Excel permits. PhpSpreadsheet till now expected that parameter to be an integer. This is trivially changed with some tests added.
