Fix #3456. A mysterious implementation by Excel. The style tags have an attribute applyAlignment, which nominally says whether or not the style should use its own Alignment. Except ... Excel ignores that attribute and uses the alignment tag if it is supplied ... and, another mystery, uses not the default style for the spreadsheet if not supplied, but rather uses the default alignment style for all spreadsheets even if the spreadsheet's default style uses a non-default alignment. I am changing Xlsx Writer to generate alignment tag unless the alignment matches both the default alignment for the spreadsheet and the default alignment for all spreadsheets (which I expect to happen most of the time).

Also don't change horizontal/vertical on Xlsx Read if they aren't explicitly set.
