Use Mantid with IPython Notebook

[Owen Arnold]

This has been highlighted as a key quick win and relates to the SSC. I really wouldn't want to get to the end of the release without doing this (hence a blocker).

Initial tests of simply running "ipython notebook" from "$BUILD_DIR/bin" seem promising. Loading/processing works as intended, and results can be plotted.

Simple demo for using IPython Notebook:

from mantid.simpleapi import *
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

samp = Load("INTER13460")
ivq, ivlam, theta = ReflectometryReductionOneAuto(samp)

print "Theta = %s" % theta
plt.semilogy(ivq.readY(0), label="IvQ")
plt.legend()
