Add algorithms categories that are by default hidden in the algorithm listing

Description

There are some classes of algorithms that should in general not be used by the typical Mantid user. Examples include:

  • Algorithms under development but not yet finished
  • Algorithms that are only really there to aid developers (e.g. Pause, NexusTester)

One solution would be to put these in separate libraries that are not shipped by the installer; a simpler one is to have hidden categories and what needs to be done is the following:

  • Come up with appropriate category names.
  • These names will be 'special' in the sense that they should be hidden by default in the algorithm tree - the appropriate changes should be made to MantidPlot to allow this. The algorithms should still be available if typed manually - e.g. in the text box or in Python.
  • Algorithms should be moved into these categories where appropriate.
  • Developers should be notified of the availability of these categories and should start to use the 'in developement' one for new algorithms that are likely to take a while to fully develop (and then change the category on completion).

  • Status changed from accepted to verify
  • Resolution set to fixed

Tester:

Default hidden category Utility
Development added (will not work if user has custom hidden categories in user.properties - clear that before testing).

Algorithms Pause, NexusTester and RayTracerTester should be in that category.
