TST: Tests and fix for unhandled data types in Excel writers.

Added tests and a fix for unhandled numpy data types in the
Excel writers. Issue #3122.
fix replacement key for deprecated option `display.height`

replacement key for deprecated option `display.height` was set to `display.height` itself. I believe it should be `display.max_rows` instead.

This avoid a weird message in `describe_option()` :

    display.height: [default: 60] [currently: 60]
    : int
            Deprecated.
	    (Deprecated, use `display.height` instead.)
inlined some functions and avoid repeated conversion factor calculation when using period_asfreq_arr in period.c
