use exponential 'E' format for General when appropriate

Fixes all these test case scenarios:
1. in A1 enter =1E222
   * move cell cursor back onto A1
   * status bar displays Sum=100000... repeated until
     filled (or 222 '0' characters)
2. invoke number format dialog on A1
   * for General format 100000... is displayed in the preview
3. move cell cursor to A2
   * open Function Wizard (Ctrl+F2)
   * choose (double click) ABS function
   * enter A1 as parameter
   * see 100000... displayed as Function result and Result
4. save as .ods
   * in content.xml see display text of A1 being saved as 100000...
