'Detect scientific notation' does not change format to scientific on import

Actually it's not a regression, but lack of functionality.

Steps:
1) Copy values in scientific notation (1.23e-4)
2) Paste Special -> Use text import dialog
3) *Do not* select 'Detect scientific notation'

Result:
Cells where the pasted value is text <number>e<number> or <number>e-<number>
will be formatted as text.

Then:
4) Paste the same data but *do select* 'Detect scientific notation'.

Result:
Format of text-fomratted cells is not changed to number or scientific, so we
can't format to another types without deleting ' (apostrophe) at start of the
cell value.


Suggestion:
Make 'Text Import' set the format according to import options.

Version does not matter. But observed with:
Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64)
