Throw exception when creating sheet with a duplicate name

           Summary: Throw exception when creating sheet with a duplicate
                    name
           Product: POI
           Version: 2.0-pre3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org

MS-Excell can open/edit a POI/HSSF generated spreadsheet that contains sheets
with duplicate names, but on closing or saving the spreadsheet it crashes
everytime (version tested: Excel 2000, 9.0.3821 SR-1). 

Solution: avoid creating sheets with duplicate names by letting method
workBook.createSheet(sheetName) throw an exception when it creates a sheet with
a name that already exists.
