Patch for ScatterChart example and formatAsString() method

Hi,

I have fixed the example with ScatterChart. There were also bug with
formatAsString() method (the bug is reproducible when define sheet names with
spaces). I have also decided to switch from git to subversion when working with
poi, so new patch has been produced by svn.

Reverse engineering of existing MS Office documents is one of the most useful
source of information for development. So I am fully agreed with your proposal.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of work needed to force POI charts look similar
to charts produced by MS Office. I know exactly where sources of differences
are:
- ms office always uses themes;
- ms office always uses cache in chart series (I have introduced (dummy at the
moment) option to turn on and off this feature: some people may want smaller
documents);
- ms office generates strange ids for axis (definitely there is some
algorithm... maybe hashing?).
I will turn my effort to decrease the difference between documents produced
with POI and documents produced by MS Office.

It is also very useful to provide ability to parse existing charts: I will try
to implement this feature in  near future.
