HSSFCell.getNumericCellValue() cannot handle large/small values

By forcing the interface to a double, the user cannot parse extremely large or
small numbers - for example "3.11E-09" is returned rounded to 0 as a Java double.

Perhaps a way to retrieve "number" cells as strings (so they can be turned into
BigDecimals, etc), or give the user more options as how the numeric data should
be handled.
