Is it possible/sensible to remove the AlgorithmProxy class

[martyngigg]

This issue was originally TRAC 10518

Several recent issues, http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/10438 & http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/10377, have uncovered problems with the AlgorithmProxy not correctly mirroring Algorithm. Obviously these can be fixed but do we need to class at all these days given that we no longer return algorithm objects in Python (its original use case).

This ticket is to investigate whether it is feasible and sensible to do the removal.

AlgorithmManager keeps a few pointers. Do we need it when we use notifications?

For MantidPlot we will need to store the pointer somewhere for the asynchronous runs but I don't really see why the manager needs to keep anything past it having finished.

It's a good thing to bear in mind though when we look in to it.

This doesn't need to be done by me so I'm leaving it for the general maintenance pool.
