Test files for edge cases of RATE function (ODS and CSV)

The attached .tar.gz archive contains (1) an ODF file that produces bad
results on edge cases with the RATE() function and (2) a CSV version of
the same file but with only correct results.  I'm the author of both
files and hereby license them jointly under MPL and LGPL.  Please let me
know if this suffices.

Bug description:
  Type "=RATE(50,35,-250,0)" on any cell, and press Enter.
