Description
Currently the file browser to select the file for UpdateInstrumentFromFile only has *.raw, *.s and all in its filetype menu. *.nxs could be included along with other changes to update it.
Also if a Nexus file that is not ISIS Nexus (e.g. Processed Nexus) is found the error message is that *.nxs is an invalid file extension. A more informative error message would be useful.

I've now added *.nxs to the file types. If the Nexus file is not ISIS nexus. It will say that the file (rather than file type) is not valid. Hopefully the user would go to the documentation to find out why.

To test,
load a workspace.
Execute UpdateInstrumentFromFile in Mantidplot.
Browse for a file.
Verify that *.nxs as available as a file type.
Choose a Nexus file for the same instrument as the workspace loaded, but is not ISIS nexus. This can be a processed nexus file that you have saved from the loaded worskpace.
Check error message refers to invalid file rather than invalid file type.
