Description

Parcelwise's HR export uses semicolons (Dutch Excel), and the import reads the whole row as one column (SUP-1043). Vossberg and Almwerk will hit it next.

Detect the separator from the header row: comma or semicolon.

Deployed: separator detected from the header row (, or ;). Quoted fields with a semicolon inside are kept whole.
