Fixes #5146: Apply maxReadFileLine limit to Excel files

- Modified extractTextFromXLSX to accept maxRows option
- Updated extractTextFromFile to pass row limit to Excel extraction
- Modified readFileTool to apply maxReadFileLine setting to Excel files
- Added comprehensive tests for row limiting functionality
- Excel files now respect the same line limits as regular text files
- Prevents 'input length too long' errors when reading large Excel files
