fixed issue #444

:Problem: Extensible fields not expanding automatically in IDD for WINDOWSHADINGCONTROL
:Solution: fixed how Extensible fields were identified

eppy was using the presence of an integer in the extensible field to identify it as extensible. Some non-extensible fields have integers in them. Now eppy identifies the Extensible field by key-words such as begin-extensible
