Add culture support for XLSX number formatting

[EnzoSam]

Summary

Add optional CultureInfo support for localized numeric formatting when converting XLSX files to PDF.

Problem

Excel can store numeric cells using built-in number formats such as numFmtId=4 without storing an explicit localized format string.

MiniPdf was formatting these values using InvariantCulture, resulting in US-style separators such as:

30,596.37

even when the Excel document was intended to be displayed using Argentine formatting:

30.596,37

Changes

• Add optional CultureInfo? Culture to MiniPdfConversionOptions.
• Propagate the culture through the XLSX conversion pipeline to ExcelReader.
• Use the provided culture when formatting built-in numeric formats.
• Preserve the existing InvariantCulture behavior when Culture is null.
• Keep XLSX XML numeric parsing invariant.
• Do not modify global CurrentCulture or InvariantCulture.
• No custom-format heuristics were introduced.

Tests

Added coverage for the real XLSX structure using built-in numFmtId=4 without a <numFmts> section.

Verified:

• es-AR → 30.596,37
• en-US → 30,596.37
• Large values → 1.234.567,89
• Negative values → -30.596,37
• Culture = null preserves the existing behavior

All tests pass:

• 181 passed
• 0 failed
• 0 skipped

dotnet build also completes with 0 errors and 0 warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The conversion options now accept an optional culture. The culture flows through Excel sheet reading to built-in General and date formatting. Null culture preserves invariant formatting. Tests cover localized and invariant output.

Changes

Excel culture formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Culture-aware number and date formatting src/MiniPdf/ExcelReader.cs	ReadSheets, ReadSheet, and FormatNumber now pass an optional culture. Built-in General and date formats use that culture or invariant culture when null.
Conversion option wiring src/MiniPdf/ExcelToPdfConverter.cs, src/MiniPdf/MiniPdf.cs	ConversionOptions and MiniPdfConversionOptions expose Culture. XLSX conversion forwards the value, while non-XLSX conversion rejects it.
Culture formatting regression coverage tests/MiniPdf.Tests/ExcelToPdfConverterTests.cs	Tests cover es-AR, en-US, and invariant output for built-in General and date formats.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 945be

This change adds optional culture-aware XLSX number formatting while preserving existing behavior when no culture is provided; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
