Description

The CSVFormat definitions (DEFAULT, EXCEL etc) are very difficult to read because the ctor has so many parameters.

Also, any change to the ctor parameters means all the definitions have to be changed.

It would be much easier if the constants were defined using the standard API.

This can be done by defining a base format (with everything disabled or null) and generating the constants from that.
