Make SNSPowderReduction to generate GSAS file same as V-Drive

[Wenduo Zhou]

VULCAN instrument scientist wishes Mantid to generate same GSAS file from V-drive. The major reason of the difference is caused by the different ways to define binning between Mantid and IDL.

Some changes to related algorithm will be applied for investigation or better log information.

[Wenduo Zhou]

Refs #10182. Made minor changes to algorithms related.

better log information more output to investigate the experiment data enabled user to specify the precision of offset value enabled to accept frequency's name and unit used for VULCAN added one property to specify tolerance to compress events

I think the change above has broken the SNSPowderRedux system test: ​http://builds.mantidproject.org/job/develop_systemtests_rhel6/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/SystemTests/SNSPowderRedux/SeriesAndConjoinFilesTest/

With any changes to output file formats we need to ensure that they are either optional (and not the default), or they are agreed with any other users of those algorithms.

GSAS file generated from V-drive

For tester

Download all the attached files. Run verify10182.py. Check the difference between the GSAS files generated from Mantid and V-drive. The difference is trivial comparing to the total number of counts.
