In Python workspace algebra doesn't log or write to workspace history

[Steve Williams]

Nick suggested to me that workspace algebra in C++ should behave like a sub-algorithm calls. However when called from Python there should be logging and history.

To test, run this Python w = LoadRaw("MAR11001.raw", "d")[0] a = w+w

the resulting workspace d_p_d has no history and only the first operation wrote to the log

(In [7915]) Polised up the binary operators in Python so that they are now all controlled from the same place. Also killed another ticket by ensuring that when the binary op algorithms are run that they are run as top-level algorithms so that they log their behaviour. Re #2025 Re #1713

There is one outstanding issue that as been span out into a separate ticket concerning the deletion of temporary workspaces when running a script generated from the workspace history. When doing an operation with a double a temporary workspace is necessary but deleting this isn't logged so in the history generated version it stays around. Ticket #2030

[Michael Whitty]

the operations are written to the workspace history as described.
