Failure to open project XLSX in MSFT Excel on Windows #206

Description

@pombredanne

I scan OK https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/94/40/c396b5b212533716949a4d295f91a4c100d51ba95ea9e2d96b6b0517e5a5/urllib3-1.26.5.tar.gz with the scan_codebase pipeline.
I then fetch the project XLSX and open it in a VM on Windows with MSFT Office and I get a message that the document is corrupted.
It is because the package description exceeds 32767 characters length which is a limit in Excel.
XlsxWriter should truncate these but does not here.
We should also report an error in anycase rather than truncate silently.
