Why this change is needed?
Replace the old MS algorithm for CRITBINOM() (which has now been replaced with te BINOM.INV() function) with a brute force approach - I'll look to refine it later. The MS algorithm is no longer documented, and the implementation produced erroneous results anyway.
TODO - Use a bisection to identify an appropriate start point before brute force.... easier to do when we have a known range between 0 and $trials
