Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

- Sparkline functions to operations
  - added sync

- Pivot table functions to operations
  - added sync

- SubTotals, InsertNameList, MergeCells, ReplaceNote to operations
  - sync

- Handle case when we disable auto-filter in default view
  - We need to properly remove all sort data on SheetView, SheetViewManager
  - Or we will wrongly unsort

- Insert and Delete cells / rows / columns - to operations
  - Add sync
  - Special case as we need to update the sort data on SheetView, SheetViewManager
  - The auto-filter ranges change, also we need to modify the sort order when we insert rows and columns

- Undo support when sorting, changing the auto-filter
  - Simple case - sheet view sort ascending, descending, undo (problem 1), undo (problem 2)
  - We need to add the sort data on the SheetView, SheetViewManager and store that in undo data
  - When we undo, we need to restore the sheet view sort data as well

- Insert, Delete row - similar situation as with sort
- After this most “hard” problems solved
- Sheet views now have over 50 test cases covered
