Add API to get the list of ranges to which a defined name refers.

Example:
List<CellRange> ranges = workbook.Names["definedName"].Ranges;
CellSelection selection = worksheet.Cells[ranges];

The cell range referred by the defined name could be accessed using code similar to the following one:
foreach (var name in workbook.Names)
{
    if (name.Name == givenName)
    {
        string[] v = name.RefersTo.Split("!".ToCharArray());

        foreach (Worksheet sheet in workbook.Sheets)
        {
            if (sheet.Name.ToUpper() == v[0].Replace("=", String.Empty).ToUpper())
            {
                string rangeName = v[1];
                string firstIndexName = rangeName.Split(":".ToCharArray())[0];

                int rowIndex;
                int columnIndex;
                bool isRowAbsolute;
                bool isColumnAbsolute;
                bool nameRefersToIndex = NameConverter.TryConvertCellNameToIndex(firstIndexName, out isRowAbsolute, out rowIndex, out isColumnAbsolute, out columnIndex);

                if (nameRefersToIndex)
                {
                    sheet.Cells[rowIndex, columnIndex].SetValue(givenValue);
                }
            }

When a chart is inserted in a document, generated by SpreadProcessing or WordsProcessing, the chart seems to lack any bars. The reason is that some theme information is missing, which effectively makes shapes take their default color, which is transparent. The same applies for shapes inserted in any Document Processing-generated OOXML documents - docx, xlsx.

Workaround: (applicable for Excel) Manually change the theme for the document in MS Excel:
- Choose Page Layout -> Themes -> Themes dropdown -> Office.

        <selection activeCell="J5" sqref="J5"/>

When a formula contains new lines, it is parsed incorrectly as follows:

- When it is shared formula it breaks the imported expression and replaces it with #NAME? error.
- In normal case it simply preserves the formula string converting it to StringExpression.

Workaround: Remove the new lines in the formulas.

Have in mind that this code will fix the issue only for the second scenario, when the formula is not shared.

CellRange usedCellRange = workbook.ActiveWorksheet.UsedCellRange;

for (int row = usedCellRange.FromIndex.RowIndex; row < usedCellRange.ToIndex.RowIndex; row++)
{
    for (int column = usedCellRange.FromIndex.ColumnIndex; column < usedCellRange.ToIndex.ColumnIndex; column++)
    {
        CellSelection cell = workbook.ActiveWorksheet.Cells[row, column];
        ICellValue value = cell.GetValue().Value;

        if (value.RawValue.Contains("\n"))
        {
            cell.SetValue(value.RawValue.Replace('\n', ' '));
        }
    }
}

At this point the culture used by RadSpreadProcessing (in the FormatHelper and internally in SpreadsheetCultureHelper) is determined by the current thread culture on startup. Provide ability to:
- to change the culture at runtime. Currently, when the thread culture is changed, RadSpreadProcessing is "stuck" with the original one.
- set this culture independently of the current thread's one.
