Append a .0 to numbers in the range [1900,9999] if returning XML data to Excel.

There is a bug in Microsoft Excel 2013's FILTERXML function, which causes
it to attempt to coerce numbers between [1900,9999] as dates. It then
returns their serial value (number of days since Jan 1st, 1900). This
coersion happens at a point where the user is unable to prevent it and
there is no known work around.

Luckily, when Excel 2013 requests data using its WEBSERVICE function, it
sets its user agent to Excel/15.0. We can thus check if Excel is downloading
data and if so, append a .0 to the end of numbers within that range. This
will prevent date coersion, and doesn't negatively impact the data, since
in Excel all numbers are floating points when doing calculations anyway.

I updated this to use a GET variable check instead of the user agent string. This should play nicer with your reverse-proxy, and actually will likely be more performant since it's just checking if a variable exists instead of a regex.

I think the new variable / parameter should be documented in the API specification so that others can profit from this as well.
