Fix #4269. In response to issue #456 PR #515, `forceFullCalc` was added to workbook.xml whenever `preCalculateFormulas` was set to false. It is not clear why this should have been needed; attempts to reproduce the error in the original 6.5-year-old issue are unable to reproduce it today. Nevertheless, it is, or was, there for a reason. Today, the forceFullCalc option sets an option where formulas *might* not be recalculated when a cell used in the formula changes. I have not succeeded in finding a situation where it doesn't automatically recalculate, but it probably exists on complicated spreadsheets. To overcome this possibility, Excel offers a button which can be used to recalculate on demand. By itself, this might not be a terrible problem. However, it seems to come with the strange property that any spreadsheets opened at the same time as a forceFullCalc spreadsheet operate as if they too specified forceFullCalc. That *is* a problem, especially since users when closing a spreasheet affected in this way will be prompted to save it even when they haven't changed anything. I am not willing to make a BC change at this time, although I might consider it in future (PR #4240). For now, I am adding a new property `forceFullCalc` with setter (no getter needed) to Xlsx Writer. That property can be `null` (default, in which case the Xml attribute is set as today), or `false` or `true` (in which case the Xml attribute will be set to the Writer attribute). I think that, when `preCalculateFormulas` is set to false, the calling application should give consideration to setting `forceFullCalc` to false as well. All other situations should just use the default.
