Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 e78cc6edc9 Fix-up #332: bound .xls formula nesting and share one record budget across sheets
Chained PtgParen/PtgUminus (or operator) tokens built a ~16K-deep Expr whose
printing or drop overflowed the stack; nesting past the formula parser's
MAX_DEPTH (256) is now reported as unsupported. BoundSheet records pointing
into one huge substream each got their own 40M-record allowance; the
allowance is now shared by the whole Workbook stream, and two sheets at the
same offset are refused.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 bd5c5c1d26 XLSX/IO: read legacy .xls (BIFF8) workbooks (#121)
Clean-room import of Excel 97-2003 workbooks from the public [MS-CFB] and
[MS-XLS] specifications: compound-file streams (FAT, mini FAT, directory
tree), the BIFF8 Workbook stream with Continue records, shared strings,
all cell records, formulas decoded from Ptg tokens (shared and array
formulas, 3-D refs, names, add-in/newer functions by name) with cached
results, number formats, the 1904 date system, merges, column widths, row
heights, defined names and print areas/titles. Encrypted (FILEPASS) and
BIFF5 files are refused with a clear message; everything else is skipped
with a warning. .xls opens as a new unsaved workbook (Save As .xlsx).
