Adding docstrings to the majority of objects, and flushing out the README to provide better instructions on the use of the package.

Correct `Choice` rule `prepare` method to appropriately handle cell values that are passed with comparison rows.

Add the `Ignore` field, which allows fields in a file to be accounted for in the validation, but skipped entirely. This is particularly useful for tables where certain fields have been pre-populated with data before the rows are completed (e.g. adding row numbers for 3000 rows when you only have 5 rows of data so far). This additionally allows the row check to use the `Ignore` class when determining if the row should be considered empty (for the purpose the `empty_row_ok` conditional evaluation).

Adding extra options to deal with messy data sets.

- an option to skip completely empty rows in a file
- an option to skip header checks in a file
- an option to treat `Choice` fields as case-insensitive
- an option to force truncation of trailing timestamp values on datestamps (e.g. `2020-01-01 00:00:00`) in order to meet date formatting expectations. Useful for newly added Excel support, since date values are coerced to full datetime strings before evaluation.

Add Excel file format support
