Improve Algorithm search results box

[Nick Draper]

The algorithm search currently just autocompletes based on the existing algorithms.

We should improve this to either

1. Drop a list box down containing all matches
2. Dynamically update the category list box to just contain the matching entries (don't list categories in this case).

Also the search should match anywhere in the string, not just the start.

The solution appears to be in ​this stack overflow question that Russell found. The magic source file (for now) is ​AlgorithmSelectorWidget.

I'm going to pinch this one.....

Re #2633. Match anywhere in algorithm name when typing in combobox.

Once 2 characters have been entered in the AlgorithmDock combobox's lineedit, all algorithms that match the entered string anywhere in their name should pop up.

There seem to be problems on RHEL6 though so this may not stick.

Unfortunately, this didn't work properly on Linux so we'll need to go back to the old way.

This reverts commit 5e0bdea6890b7c074f3d18e9fdc503b11aa5b795.

Move the tickets I'm definitely not going to do this iteration so that I can better see the ones that I might.

Just checked again, and (unsurprisingly really) the same problem still exists on RHEL6 whereby the pop-up box is grey and blank. A pity, because this solution worked a treat on Windows & Mac.

I guess I'll put this ticket into the 'Anyone' morass - maybe the problem will go away once we move onto newer linuxes.

This appears to be a RHEL 6 special, but also does not appear on all machines, a quick test with mantidlx1 over X looks just fine.

As RHEL 7 or a move to fedora is around the corner I will mark this as wontfix.

The suggested change to matching algorithms anywhere in the string is not worth while and would likely throw up more confusion than the current start of string matching.

[Peter Peterson]

I still think this would be a very useful improvement.
