Return an unparsed sheet.

xlrd's versions of get_sheet_by_index return unparsed
sheet objects which the parse function then feeds to get_sheet_data to
actually turn into a DataFrame

Use get_sheet_data as name of function that converts a sheet
into a structure to be passed to TextParser. (To be more consistent
with xlrd)
