Make axis views in Instrument view consistent with Viz programs

[mareuter]

This issue was originally TRAC 1537

The predefined axis views should operate in the same mode as ''VisIt'' and/or ''ParaView''. Both programs agree that the direction of the predetermined view is away from the observer. Also, the locations of the other axes should be aligned to the way these programs work. They both agree on the orientations for Z and Y, but not X, so for that one any choice will do. Also, the programs specify their labels with the signs in front, so we should make them consistent (i.e. +Z). Here are the orientations for the axes:

• +Z: +Y up, +X left
• -Z: +Y up, +X right
• +Y: +Z up, +X right
• -Y: +Z up, +X left
  ''ParaView''
• +X: +Z up, +Y left
• -X: +Z up, +Y left
  ''VisIt''
• +X: +Y up, +Z right
• -X: +Y up, +Z left

I'm not sure about this one, I think we should just make the axes actually respect the values set in the instrument definition file. It was clear in the past that the scientists will not agree across instruments what axes mean.

(In [7649]) Remove a couple of methods no longer needed in IkedaCarpenter. re http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/1537.

bulk move to assigned at the into of the triage step

This is not a user requirement, and not worth the effort
