Handle missing IPTS numbers in configs more gracefully

Duggan, John requested to merge 38-handle-missing-ipts-numbers-from-config into main

Summary of Changes

I've made two changes:

  1. If the IPTS number isn't explicitly declared, I try to load the IPTS number from the data directory field of the config file.
  2. If it can't be loaded from either field, then I show a special error message informing the user to switch to the reduction input tab.

I've tested with the following files:

  1. topaz.missing_ipts.config - This should still load the IPTS number even though that field is missing.
  2. topaz.missing_ipts_and_datadir.config - This should show the new error message since both the IPTS number and data directory fields are missing.
