Generated Excel files are now always consistent when the data source is the same, save for the metadata of the zip entries.

Code Review
This pull request updates the Zomp.SyncMethodGenerator package and refactors the OpenXml writer to support deterministic file generation by replacing random GUIDs with index-based IDs and minifying XML dynamically. The review feedback highlights a critical bug in GenerateWorkbookItems where a StringBuilder is declared outside a loop, causing drawing relationships to accumulate across sheets. Additionally, it is recommended to sort the content types dictionary by key to guarantee determinism.

This PR addresses the niche problem of deterministic file generation, previously undermined by the assignment of random
Guidsto the ids of worksheets and drawings in their respective .rels files. The change implemented makes them sequential thus solving the issue.
