Subject: [PATCH] CopySheet() using reflect instead of encoding/gob

Use github.com/mohae/deepcopy to deep copy worksheets instead of the
internal deepcopy function that was using encoding/gob serialization and
deserialization.

Rationale:
1/ using `encoding/gob` is much slower than
   [`mohae/deepcopy`](https://github.com/mohae/deepcopy/)
2/ When building an application this implementation of `deepcopy` drags
   the `encoding/gob` package into the binary. And this package is much
   bigger than `mohae/deepcopy` (which only depends on `time` and `reflect`).

```
$ LC_ALL=C stat -f "%6z %N" $(go env GOPATH)/pkg/$(go env GOOS)_$(go env GOARCH)/github.com/mohae/deepcopy.a $(go env GOROOT)/pkg/$(go env GOOS)_$(go env GOARCH)/encoding/gob.a
 10508 .../pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/mohae/deepcopy.a
541818 .../pkg/darwin_amd64/encoding/gob.a
