Formalise live data display #18828

Add a button to the ISIS Reflectometry GUI to start live data monitoring

We can get theta from ibex instruments using epics support in mantid. Reflectometry instruments are not on ibex yet but the controls team can install an additional process that will make the same variables available, e.g. this has been done for polref.

from epics import caget
title=caget('IN:POLREF:DAE:TITLE',as_string=True)
theta=caget('IN:POLREF:CS:SB:Theta',as_string=True)
print "Title:",title
print "Theta:",theta

This is low priority but may make it into 3.10 if it is an easy win

The scientists each have their own small scripts that they use for this, which they are currently happy with, so this is a low priority.
