BATCH-2041: Add support for reading excel files

This commit adds support for reading Excel files. Both JExcel and Apache POI are supported. Support for reading Excel files has been designed similar to the support for reading flat files.

See previous comment on this one.  I think we can use this now and potentially remove/depricate this when batch 3.1 comes out.
