Summary: Excel function qlFixedRateBondHelper  is deprecated

Initial Comment:
Problem:
The Excel function qlFixedRateBondHelper in QuantlibXL Version 1.0b3
produces an error messsage: "qlFixedRateBondHelper - Boost assertion
failed: px != 0" which is due to an uninitialized bond parameter in the
BondHelper constructor.

Solution:
The function qlfixedratebondhelper is deprecated and 
will or should be removed in the coming version. The new function is qlBondHelper.

One can create a fixed rate bond using qlFixedRateBond and forward this 
object to qlBondHelper. This should be the same financial construct.
