All of the project loading/saving code has been inherited from QtiPlot and suffers from several issues:

Fragile - Users report crashes when loading/saving projects
Buggy - Users have reported numerous bugs with its behaviour
Difficult to maintain - The code is messy and does not conform to Mantid's code standards
Incomplete - Many windows are not loaded/saved as part of projects, or only partially saved.

This ticket aims to resolve the fragility and maintainability of the code.

Goals:

Mantid should not crash while loading/saving
Project files should remain backwards compatible
Project loading/saving code should be easy to comprehend and conform to Mantid's standards
It should be easy to extend loading/saving coverage in future
