Load SPICE data file for 2D detetor

[Wenduo Zhou]

Implement a new algorithm to load 2D-detector SPICE file for HB3A. The file in a new format is written to an XML file for each measurement. In another word, each traditional SPICE data file corresponds to N such XML files if there are N measurement points in the experiment run.

For tester: A new algorithm LoadSpiceXML2DDet is implemented in this algorithm. In order to test, you can download any XML files of HFIR's HB3A from ​http://neutron.ornl.gov/user_data/hb3a/exp355/Datafiles/. You may run the algorithm to load data and check the output MatrixWorkspace including the spectra and sample logs.

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

Code looks very good and it comes with a unit test and doc tests. I think it's ready to be merged in.

I only spotted a very minor issue with a doxygen tag (see inline comment above). Please have a look at it, and I'll merge this PR. I'd also suggest adding a short description of the parameters if there's any point that needs to be clarified (like expected format, typical usage, etc.).

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

Just another comment. I tested the algorithm with a few example XML files from the link that you posted above. Everything seems to work well. Maybe in the future a default value for the 'DetectorGeometry' could be guessed from the file? For interactive use it would be convenient, although I'm not sure if this algorithm will be used directly, or just as part of the HFIR HB3A load/reduce workflow.

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

OH and another comment, could you add the ticket number for this?

We got a glitch on the win7 build, so I stopped the builds that were still running. Let's try again...
