Add improved names for fit function categories

[Anders Markvardsen]

For example ExpDecayOsc may be categoried as Muon, General
Exponential (I think the notation is
for sub-category check IFunction header)

[Karl Palmen]

I find 14 fit functions currently documented in the wiki and wiki-categorised as fit functions. See http://www.mantidproject.org/Category:Fit_functions . Are there any others? Any others expected to be added?

[Karl Palmen]

I find that in the code for Curve Fitting all 14 fit functions declared as functions and also

Bivarate Normal,

Convolution,

MultiBG,

ProductFunctionMW,

QuadraticBackground

[Karl Palmen]

Functions to be added:

GausDecay #4413

GausOsc #4414

Both to be put into category Muon.

[Karl Palmen]

I'll proceed with the following categorisation. Further categorisation may be done later on.

Background LinearBackground, Quadratic, QuadraticBackground, MultiBG

General ExpDecay, StretchExp, UserFunction, Resolution, Convolution, ProductFunctionMW,

Muon ExpDecayMuon, ExpDecayOsc, GausDecay, GausDecayOsc

Peak BackToBackExponential, IkedaCarpenterPV, Chebyshev, DeltaFunction, Gaussian, LogNormal, Lorentzian, BivarateNormal

[Karl Palmen]

Add categories test for re #4521 to BackToBackExponentialTest.h

This just seems to modify the tests to check for the categories. The tests pass ok.
