Fix #1416. I do not entirely understand the use case for this old issue, but resolving it seems straightforward. Issue complains that user-entered date/time fields may be interpreted as either float or int when PhpSpreadsheet reads them. Issue suggests getCalculatedValue treat all date/time fields as float; that seems like a breaking change. However, adding an option to permit it seems okay. That option might be implemented as either a property of Calculation, or a static property of Cell. Since the changed logic is found in Cell (and Shared/Date), I opted for the latter.

In Cell, the property $parent is incorrectly described in doc block as Cells, and should be ?Cells. This change eliminates some Phpstan and Scrutinizer problems, and should allow the elimination of some try/catch blocks - I have not done an exhaustive search for those.

Calls to isDateTime could have affected activeSheet and selectedCells; they no longer can. Optional parameters are added to it and the functions it calls to accommodate the new functionality; the defaults for the new parameters will, of course, return the same result as the earlier versions of the functions would have returned.

This is:

- [x] a bugfix
- [x] a new feature
- [ ] refactoring
- [ ] additional unit tests

Fix PHPOffice#1416. I do not entirely understand the use case for this old issue, but resolving it seems straightforward. Issue complains that user-entered date/time fields may be interpreted as either float or int when PhpSpreadsheet reads them.

That option might be implemented as either a property of Calculation, or a static property of Cell. Since the changed logic is found in Cell (and Shared/Date), I opted for the latter.

In Cell, the property `$parent` is incorrectly described in doc block as `Cells`, and should be `?Cells`. This change eliminates some Phpstan and Scrutinizer problems, and should allow the elimination of some try/catch blocks - I have not done an exhaustive search for those.

Calls to `isDateTime` could have affected activeSheet and selectedCells; they no longer can. Optional parameters are added to it and the functions it calls to accommodate the new functionality; the defaults for the new parameters will, of course, return the same result as the earlier versions of the functions would have returned.
Tests used constant which I deprecated.
