Do Not Output Alignment and Protection for Conditional Formats #4027

Fix #4025. With Conditional Formatting, Excel can change Font, Fill, Borders, and NumberFormat. It does not support Alignment nor Protection, at least not natively. This PR removes all code supporting Conditional Alignment or Protection from Xlsx and Xls Writer. Attached to the issue report is a spreadsheet where a conditionally formatted merged cell shows its value twice when Alignment is included with the Conditional Style; it is fixed by this PR. It is not entirely certain which particular combination of CF, Alignment, Merge, AutoFilter, and right-to-left sheet alignment trigger this problem. I am sure that it shows up for Vertical Alignment Center, and I am sure that Xls Writer (which is somewhat buggy anyhow regarding CF support - see issue #3403) has the same problem. The now-unused Xls code is commented out rather than deleted, for documentation purposes.
