      Replace block-style progress reporter with C-api based one · f35671a7
      Martyn Gigg authored
      This implementation is based on the implementation in MantidPlot.
      A C++-based executor has been added that can execute Python code
      with the option of installing a trace function to update
      a progress marker on a given editor window.
      
      The old implementation attempted to chunk up the script into
      the smallest executable blocks and mark each of these as when
      they were executed. There were 2 issues:
        - the chunking of the scripts was error prone as it actually
          requires a good knowledge of how Python internally handles
          indentation etc. It was fairly easy to break and future
          internal updates to Python would have required unknown changes.
        - the progress reporting resolution was far poorer than MantidPlot
          as the actual line being executed was not reported but inferred
          by what block was being executed giving a false sense of progress
          through a script.
