Description
The offline docs are progressing far enough to get them hooked into the help button for the algorithms. This requires two things to do:
- Create a singleton in MantidQt/API for HelpWindow.
- Have the '?' button launch that singleton pointing at the correct algorithm page.

This is on feature/6846_qtassistant_singleton.
To test it, bring up an algorithm and click on the help button.

There are two problems:
- assistant.exe isn't copied to bin/Release|Debug, which can be fixed by changing ${THIRD_PARTY} to ${CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH} and adding ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/assistant.exe to DEPENDS at line 101.
- Error message from qt assistant (see attachment).

Looks good apart from the LoadDialog. That has some custom handling of the the helpClicked slot so needs altering too. Other CustomDialogs seem okay.
