Rewrite rule formulas for the new top-left cell when cells are removed from a rule

Clearing validation from cells (or setting a new rule, or pasting a
validation over them) and Clear Rules on selected cells shrink a rule's
areas. When that removes the rule's top-left cell, the relative formulas
were left written for the old cell, so the cells left checked other
cells: clearing A1 off a custom `A1>10` on A1:A9 made A2 check A1.

Rewrite the relative references of validation formulas, and of
conditional format expressions and comparison values, for the new
top-left cell. Absolute references and literal lists stay as they are.
