Initial support for dropdown lists in MS Excel. Should support 2003 through 2010, relying on displayModel. Re #3382

Currently looks for white text for selected item. should of course change this to use proper system selection color.

Excel dropdowns: now uses the proper system highlight colors to detect selection. Also include some code that should have been committed before. Re #3382.

Note this support covers Excel 2003 2007 and 2010, but not 2013 sadly.

I see, that in the fresh edition of next branch (see attached zip file), dropdown does not work again.

Replying to gregjozk_:
I am able to open and navigate the dropdown on c19 in your example. Did this ever work for you? What version of MS Excel are you running?
This feature is also now in master. Do you have any success trying this with master?

I'm using excel version 2010 (32-bit) on os windows 7 sp1. Problem is, because sometimes dropdown works, but often NVDA does not recognise, that in c (or whatever column there is dropdown and then it does not open dropdown options.

For anyone who can't seem to get dropdowns to work in Excel when pressing alt+downArrow, please test this try build:
http://community.nvda-project.org/try/excelDropdownTimeout/nvda_snapshot_try-excelDropdownTimeout-9641,ef5ec7c.exe

Let me know if this works better.
If it still does not work for you, please provide a log set to input/output. A part from some improvements to detection of the Dropdown window, there is also extra logging to show where it fails.
