Expose Split into and Split Threshold

[Owen Arnold]

The MD Workspace naturally bins/groups the data into a recursive box structure. Without generating histograms, it would be very useful to allow binning/rebinning on this structure by modifying the split threshold and split into parameters. This may form some kind of clone operation.

It may be best at this point to go ahead and utilise and inject a strategy to define how the binning should take place (i.e. constant signal to noise).

I'm happy to code this myself, so reasign back to me if required.

Exposed in CreateMDWorkspace but we need to talk about how it can be integrated in other algorithms e.g. ConvertToDiffractionMD

[Owen Arnold]

Maybe best to leave ConvertToDiffractionMD as it is because I know you did some work on tuning of these parameters. Utilising splitinto and splitthreshold should probably form another algorithm. The current use case is to tweak these parameters for visualisation.

Those parameters are now available to ConvertToDiffractionMDWorkspace. A more sophisticated BoxController can be a new ticket instead.

Works! Nice approach via baseclass algorithm. Algorithms such as ConvertToDiffractionMDWorkspace are picking up these settings.
