Read characterization into table workspace

[Peter Peterson]

SNSPowderReduction relies heavily on the "characterization" file which contains information about settings for focus positions and other processing information. Convert the reading into an algorithm that loads into a table workspace for the data ranges and characterization run numbers and output parameters for the focus positions, and the iparm filename.

Re #8623. First fully functioning version.

There is only one test written so far and it needs documentation, but otherwise it is good.

Re #8623. Adding another NOMAD test.

The previous one was for a NOMAD oddity, this time do the actual focus position only one.

This is on ​feature/8623_characterization_file.

To test: See if the unit tests cover the standard cases. The real test is when #8675 (which this ticket is blocking) is done. Otherwise, try it on random characterization files which means it will need to be tested by an SNS person.

wiki documantation (including initDocs function) are the autogenerated ones.

Note: some test files create table with no rows (that's OK, but just be aware of that)
