Output all values as string unless in type autodetection mode #4

Using autodetection for cell content seems to break the Unix philophy of doing one thing well with minimum magic as there is a chance of misrecognising a value as a bool rather than as a string e.g. yes/no true/false issue in yaml.

Let's default to all string, but have '-a' autodetect enable flag instead.

Once we get attributes type defined, then we could also use that as a method to pick the right type as well.
