ReflectometryReductionOneAutoTest UnitTest too slow

[Owen Arnold]

ReflectometryReductionOneAutoTest UnitTest takes 15 seconds to run.

See #9904 for test instructions and timings.

refs #9906. Large speedup using pre-canned workspaces.

Reduced runtime from 25 seconds to 1.5 seconds using pre-canned workspaces. More refactoring needed.

refs #9906. More refactoring. More reuse. 0.8 second processing.

[Owen Arnold]

After pushing to develop, the time that it takes to process has been reduced to 7 seconds (roughly half of the original). Next step will be to pull certain tests out into SystemTests.

[Owen Arnold]

refs #9906. Create and use virtual refl instrument.

Make a very simple reflectometry instrument in memory and attach a single monitor and a single detector spectrum to it. Avoids All IO related to both data and instrument, and can be used to create tiny reflectometry workspaces.

Makes a huge difference to test speed. Only applied to ReflectometryReductionOne at this stage.

refs #9906. unit test to system test.

Convert unit tests into system tests, but also update the stresstesting base class to derive from unittest TestCase to remove the need for customised assert methods.

Changeset: 42ac810cab5fbe55f6c9548801c6f82b42c98fa5

[Owen Arnold]

Now have both unit tests for workflow algorithms ReflectometryReductionOne and ReflectometryReductionOneAuto executing in < 1 second.

refs #9906. Python 2.6 limitation.

assertGreater, assertLess not supported until 2.7. Also forgot to add module.

Tester: You need to merge BOTH systemtest repo and mantid repo branches into their respective master branches!

Unit tests ReflectometryReductionOneAutoTest and ReflectometryReductionOneTest should execute very quickly now. Both in < 1 second.

Compare the original timings here: http://www.mantidproject.org/images/2/2f/Slow_tests.xlsx_-_Sheet1.pdf with the current ones here: ​http://builds.mantidproject.org/view/Develop%20Builds/job/develop_clean/label=rhel6-build/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/AlgorithmsTest/

The new system test RROAutoFunctionalityTest should be up and running on all platforms.
