Implement core layout for update Python API

[Martyn Gigg]

Set up the package structure and ensure unit tests can be run on both the C++ and Python code.

Refs #3614. Check pointing what I've started with the new Python structure. It is NOT included in CMake yet but I want to get the changes in to a safe place.

More python unit tests and a new instantiator for PythonAlgorithms that means we don't need all that CloneableAlgorithm stuff, we can create a new object as requested. Refs #3614

[Martyn Gigg]

In [14240]:

Refs #3614. Algorithm exports for [set/get]property along with properties for basic types. An algorithm unit test as well.

I'm going to close this ticket as the work is now starting to go outside the core setup.

[Anders Markvardsen]

Have run scripts with new and old python and looked at simpleapi.py and it all looks good to me.

A very minor comment is that a few @param are left out in simpleapi.py
