Loading instrument definition config files should check instrument folder

Description

At the moment (from observed behaviour) if you load an instrument parameter file by supplying just a filename (no directory) then the LoadParameterFile() will fail if the instrument definition directory is not on the user data directory search path.

I presume that this is because it is relying on the FileFinder to find the file, for instrument config files we know where they usually are, so we should automatically check there as well and not rely on the user to have to add the directory.

This should be checked that LoadInstrument works ok as well.
