Faster writing using ZipArchives.jl

Here is a simple benchmark:

This PR: 2.317752 seconds (9.40 M allocations: 623.127 MiB, 23.31% gc time)
master: 11.811335 seconds (52.20 M allocations: 23.567 GiB, 24.20% gc time)

using XLSX

function create_excel_file(N)
    # Create an in-memory buffer for the Excel file
    io = IOBuffer()
    XLSX.openxlsx(io, mode="w") do xf
        sheet = xf[1]
        XLSX.writetable!(sheet, [randn(N), rand(1:100, N)], ["column_1", "column_2"])
    end
    return take!(io)
end

@time create_excel_file(200000);
@time create_excel_file(200000);

ZipArchives.jl requires Julia 1.6, so I increased the Julia compact.
