[Muon] MuonLoad workflow algorithm

[Arturs Bekasovs]

This should encompass all the operations done to the workspace by MuonAnalysis from the moment the workspace is loaded to the moment it gets plotted.

Tester:

Please don't get confused by the branch name - I've mixed up the ticket numbers.

The main thing to check - MuonLoad algorithm should produce the same plots as the ones produced by MuonAnalysis interface with the same parameters. Some of the functionality is currently covered by unit test, more will be covered by SystemTest, so this is just a sanity check.

1. Open MuonAnalysis interface. Load file: AutoTestData/MUSR00015189.nxs
2. Set the following parameters:
   1. Home tab. Time Zero: 0.50, First Good Data: 0.1. Dead Time Correction: From data file, Period algebra: "2-1"
   2. Settings tab. Time axis: Start at first good data, Finish box: 16, Data binning: Fixed, 2 steps
3. Plot the 'long' pair.
4. Now, launch LoadMuonNexus, set DetectorGroupingTable to Grouping and load MUSR00015189.nxs file. Workspace Grouping should be created.
5. Open MuonLoad algorithm dialog.
6. Set properties:
   • Filename: MUSR00015189.nxs
   • First Period: 1 (= 2 on the interface)
   • Second Period: 0 (= 1 on the interface)
   • PeriodOperation: -
   • ApplyDeadTimeCorrection: true
   • DetectorGroupingTable: Grouping_1
   • TimeZero: 0.5
   • RebinParams: 0.032 (not 2 because MuonAnalysis interface actually multiplies specified number by the bin width, in this case - 0.016)
   • Xmin: 0.1
   • Xmax: 16.0
   • OutputType: PairAsymmetry
   • PairFirstIndex: 0 (corresponding to group fwd)
   • PairSecondIndex: 1 (corresponding to group bwd)
   • Alpha: 1.0
   • Output workspace: Result
7. Run the algorithm.
8. Check that plot of workspace "MUSR00015189; Pair; long; Asym; #1" produced by MuonAnalysis corresponds to the plot of "Result" workspace.
9. Try changing the parameters of the MuonLoad and check that they have expected effect. You can check the results using MuonAnalysis interface.

Found a problem with multi-period dead times.
