Properly handle run start & run stop notifications from SMS

[Ross Miller]

We had been mostly ignoring these messages until now.

[Ross Miller]

Parse the RunStatus packet for run start and run stop info

Refs #5857

Changeset: 963cfe4b2fd54b347afe626fdc2ae018b77fc4c7

[Ross Miller]

Add a run_number property to workspaces from the live event listener

Refs #5857

Changeset: 92580e97b251f50c5e998f9917667f3ddea6b656

[Ross Miller]

Create a new workspace for the live listener when a run starts

After a run ends (and extractData() has been called to retrieve the last events from the run), throw away the temporary workspace and create a new one. This ensures we don't have out-of-date geometry or log data left over from the previous run.

[Ross Miller]

Properly handle redundant device descriptor packets

There are certain cases when SMS will send device descriptor packets more than once per run. Need to ignore the descriptions for devices we already have (because Mantid will throw an exception if you try to add a property to a workspace that already has one of the same name).

Changeset: e3c3ebb3896155b594263bd9008a428b48440d56

[Ross Miller]

Add a default exception handler to the live listener background thread

If the background thread ever throws an uncaught excetion, it will silently exit. The default handler catches everything and logs a fatal error before the thread exits.
