Fastexcel

* Support for excel tables
* A single dtype that will be used for all columns can now be specified when loading a sheet
* Sheets now have a `visible` attribute indicating wether they're visible, hidden or very hidden

Breaking changes

* The `header_row` parameter now represents the exact index of a row in a sheet. It is more explicit this way, but may break existing code relying on `calamine`'s legacy row skipping behaviour (if empty rows were found at the beginning of the sheet)
