  Converts the passed value to be a normalised %Cell{} struct.

  If a non %Cell{} struct is passed, this function returns a new
  %Cell{} struct with the `value` key set to the stringified binary
  of the content passed in and any options passed are applied over
  the normal struct defaults.

  If a %Cell{} is passed in those with a binary entry for their `value`
  key will pass straight through; all others will have their `value` key
  stringified before being passed through.
