Allow slicing of live data in refl gui monitor

gemmaguest commented 2 years ago

The ISIS reflectometry GUI has a button to start the live data monitor and to perform a standard reflectometry reduction on it using the settings in the GUI. Currently however it is not possible to perform slicing of event data using the settings on the Event Handling tab - this will fail because the live data is always loaded in histo mode.

To do this we will need to:

check that ReflectometryReductionOneLiveData can be run as post-processing on live event data. I suspect there may be assumptions in the reduction that might complicate this
change the defaults in RunsPresenter::setupLiveDataMonitorAlgorithm to use event settings if event handling is enabled on the GUI.
I think only the instrument OFFSPEC_EVENT can be run in live data event mode. This is not in the list of supported instruments for the GUI so it will need to be added; I'm not sure whether we want it to appear in the drop-down box though because that would be confusing (check with scientists), so it might require some re-work to allow that to be used but hidden. We might also hit some other problems with adding a "new" instrument.

Changing the estimate from 2 to 5 because I think there are probably quite a few things that will need fixing up to get this working, especially regarding adding a new instrument if that is required.
