[Contrib: Evaluation System] Dropping xls as an export format in favour of xlsx

Hi,

Does anyone have any objections to dropping xls as an export format in favour of always exporting xlsx for Excel export?

xlsx export was added in EVALSYS-755 to be used when necessary (more than 255 columns), but we recently fixed a bug where it doesn't always seem to use the right type, and dropping xls entirely simplifies the code.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/EVALSYS-1424

We've tested the fix for this in our 10.x evaluations branch. If no objections, I'll merge the fix to trunk and resolve the issue.

Cheers
Stephen
