Expose the creation of TableWorkspaces to Python

[Martyn Gigg]

We currently only allow MatrixWorkspaces to be created within PythonAlgorithms. We should try and align this more to the C++ API and be more flexible.

Export the WorkspaceFactory to Python. Refs #4399 #3030

Added the creation of table worksapces as well. It required adding a conversion between shared_ptr<T> and shared_ptr<const T> which should be there for each shared_ptr type. Hence the large amount of changes.

kind of works.

w=WorkspaceFactory.createTable()
print w.columnCount()
0

w.addColumn('float','test')
w.addRow({'test':1.0})

print w.cell('test',0)
1.0

However, I do not see it in the workspaces,

print mtd.getObjectNames()
[]

Am I doing anything wrong?

This was only intended for PythonAlgorithms. The workspace needs to be stored in the ADS for it to be viewable from outside. It's not done by default as you may create temporary ones that you don't want people to see outside the algorithm. So essentially is the workspace was set as the value on a property then it would get shown.
