Don't start assistant in HelpWindow constructor. Refs #6880

This prevents it from popping up on shutdown if it hadn't been started yet. Also add a small wait for the process to close if the window was open while the MantidPlot was closed.

Tester: Play with various options of starting & shutting down and having the helpwindow not started, open during shutdown & opened but then closed before shutting down MantidPlot.
