Title: Allows get sheet or sheet index by sheet name

This patch adds a new 'sheet index' and 'get sheet_by_name' function on the Workbook. Sometimes I need the sheet index to set the active sheet before save the document. The function get_sheet_by_name, simulates the behavior of oppenoffice that returns a sheet by name.
