AddTimeSeriesLog algorithm

[Nick Draper]

Add an algorithm to add or extend a time series log, there will also need to be some functionality to clear (restart) a log, perhaps this is another algorithm to just delete a log.

Be more consistent across boost versions.

It seems older boost::date_time versions accepted just dates from a format string, whilst the newer ones do not. We'll be strict and require a time from all. Refs #9227

Branch: feature/9227_add_timeseries_log

Tester: There are two new algorithms: AddTimeSeriesLog and DeleteLog. The ​WIKI_USAGE section of AddTimeSeriesLog demonstrates a simple usage of the algorithm to add a log value in a series for the current time. This should work.

To check whether a log exists in python you can do

#! python
run = ws.run()
if "temperature" in run:
  print "Log exists"
else:
  print "Log not found"

It should also show up as a new log in the right-click "Show Sample Logs" view.
