Description

Hey,

Thanks for making this library, it has significantly lowered the bar to working with Google Sheets for me. It would be awesome to have support for Conditional Formatting on columns.

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/samples/conditional-formatting

It looks like it could fit well in to the range style notation, with some kwargs for the formatting options. If I get a chance I will create a PR.

Check existing comments for implementation ideas. Focus on implementing a method like `set conditional formatting` following the existing API pattern.
