Clean up inherited qtiplot python imports

[Russell Taylor]

I propose to remove the qtiplotrc.py startup script (and qtiUtils.py as well). This was prompted by the fact that I was having trouble running 2 scripts (i.e. this and mantidplotrc.py) when launching IPython, but looking into the file I think very little of it is actually needed. Anything that is can go into mantidplotrc.py.

Also, I want to thin out qti.sip by removing the parts that aren't applicable to MantidPlot. This is primarily the exposure of QtiPlot's fitting classes.

I agree, the script basically just imports certain things into the main namespace and we don't use it a large amount of it, especially the maths functions. As for qti.sip, I think it can only benefit from a clean up.

Remove exposure of qtiPlot's fitting classes to Python. Re #4335.

These were inherited from qtiPlot and Mantid users should be using our fitting mechanism instead.

Remove python access to QtiPlot's 'Note'. Re #4335.

I'm not sure about the 'Filter' classes. I could see how they could be useful for post-reduction analysis, but maybe we should encourage all analysis to go through Mantid algorithms. I've no idea if anyone's using them (probably unlikely), or come to that whether they actually work.

Revert "Remove python access to QtiPlot's 'Note'. Re #4335."

I've updated Note to be simpler and need it to complete the port of stem plots. Re #4341 & #2654.

This reverts commit f4819ef2cca70b7905c5d1a4ce69158ee8d81842.

Remove python exposure of QtiPlot 'Filter' classes. Re #4335.

Making the assumption that no-one uses them....

[Russell Taylor]

Remove qtiplotrc.py startup file. Re #4335.

And qtiUtil.py as well. We hardly used anything in them. The only thing we did was the import of functions from the qti module into the global namespace. This will be replaced by proxy methods to prevent crashes if objects are deleted (see #1037).

Remove deleted file from Windows installer. Re #4335.

qti.sip is cleaned up and qtiplotrc.py is gone.
