Translator from FullProf to Mantid for initial fitting param starting value stage 2

[Anders Markvardsen]

Extend algorithm in #7617 to accept an InOutWorkspace, where if it is defined the FullProf parameters are applied to this workspace.

Here also make the OutputFile optional if InOutWorkspace is defined

I think such an algorithm could be called something like LoadFullprofToInstrumentParameters, Load... because it takes some data from a file and puts it into a workspace.

[Karl Palmen]

Moved to backlog as agreed with Anders.

[Karl Palmen]

It could be implemented as an expansion of LoadFullprofResolution.

[Karl Palmen]

The simplest solution would be to expand ConvertFullprofToXML, because there we the Poco::DOM which can then be stuffed into the workspace via InstrumentDefinitionParser.setComponentLinks and workspace.popultateInstrumentParameters.

If this were done, we'd have a load algorithm and the name should be changed appropriately.

Alternatively, the code that creates the Poco::DOM could be put into a shared class. This shared class might be needed by other tickets in this area and a talk with the scientists is needed to determine these tickets.

[Karl Palmen]

Moved to backlog, because the best approach to this ticket could be determined by future ctalks with scientists.

[Karl Palmen]

This is now done by LoadFullprofResolution.

[Anders Markvardsen]

As stated this is now done by loadfullprofresolution
