Wrong Tube Moved after Saving in Nexus

[Karl Palmen]

If you run the attached python file, you will see that tube_3_5 of door3 has been moved. If this workspace is saved to processed Nexus and the Nexus file is then loaded. The tube_3_5 of door1 is moved (to the correct place).

This requires a version of Mantid in which #5658 is fixed, to enable tube_3_5 of door3 to be moved.

This could be fixed by taking advantage of the fix to #5659 after it has been made.

Use getFullName instead of getName in ParameterMap.asString re #5840

This required extending Component::getFullName to IComponent. Also I made a change towards making it visible in Python.

Tested for 5 different MERLIN files and inside windows and ubuntu. The only thing I would say is that is quite time consuming, but this is mainly related to loading MERLIN files. I set up this script:

for names in [r'12968', r'12973', r'12992',r'13253',r'13255']:
	comp_name = 'door3/tube_3_5'
	WS = Load(names)
	comp = WS.getInstrument().getComponentByName(comp_name)
	print comp.getPos()

	# Move Tubexxx of door3 up one metre.
	MoveInstrumentComponent( WS,comp_name,X=0.0,Y=1.0,Z=0.0)
	SaveNexus(WS,r'C:\file.nxs')	
	WS2 = Load(r'C:\file.nxs')
	WS2 = mtd['WS2']
	comp = WS2.getInstrument().getComponentByName(comp_name)
	print comp.getPos()

And it took 9 minutes to finish the whole test.
