Fitting result filtering

[Arturs Bekasovs]

Now with sequential fitting dialog in place the amount of fitting results users have to deal with might become quite big.

That's why, should come up with a good way of filtering the fits on Results tab. It should be easy to find all the fits of the certain label and view individual fits only.

In that way it can be used safely in other places.

Refs #8716. Replace string vectors with string lists.

It's easier to use lists and there is no particular reason to use vectors.

Tester:

Open Results tab before doing any fits. Check that it behaves correctly when there is nothing to show.

Now do multiple individual and sequential fits for various instruments and fit models and go to the Results tab again. Check that it's easy enough to find both individual fits and sequential fits for a specific label.

List of logs should be updated together with list of workspaces representing common logs for all these workspaces. Workspaces with different fit models should have different colors in the list and should not be available to be included in the same results table.

Try to make another sequential fit and return to the Results tab - new label should be added to the combo box.

I've not touched any of results table creation code, though just in case make sure the table does actually gets created with the right data sets, logs and fit parameters.

To test this ticket I grabbed an older version of Mantid to verify how the interface functioned.

• Results tab behaves correctly when no results are found.
• I performed several standard fits on various instruments. The results appeared in the Individual fits table as expected.
• When I performed sequential fits (on various instruments and datafiles) the result was output into the sequential fit table. The drop-menu was populated with the name of the sequential fit as expected.
• When I clicked Create table the correct results of the included fit tables are created in a joined table.

In other words, the changes introduced allow the user to perform multiple fitting/sequential fits without getting lost in the results tab. This makes the user-experience significantly better.

The code is well written, and I could not see any problems/bad practice.
