_format_value call on string overwrites value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Method _getCellDetails() a call to _format_value() is performed on
string values (line 1133 on version 2.11). 

If the value in the cell happens to be a number but the format is
'GENERAL', the code overwrites the actual value by the FORMAT, effectively
destroying the original value.

Demo: a call to _format_values('GENERAL', 3, 0) returns 'GENERAL' rather
then '3'

This is probably due to line 474, where the predicted subpattern $part[0]
is used as pattern without checking if that makes any logical sense.

Fix:

Add this code after line 474:

  if (count($parts)==1) {
    $pattern = $num;
  }
