[IndDiff] - Input Validation / Wiki Instructions / General Check

[PeterParker]

From Spencer:

IRIS data for diffspec option.

The d-spacing option is confusing in that the instructions state:

Rebin (mandatory for IRIS) - specify parameters for the Rebin algorithm, to be applied in dSpacing. You may leave these fields blank to forego rebinning.
"Mandatory for IRIS" is inconsistent with leaving fields blank isn't it?

I left them blank and got

  ValueError: Invalid value for property InputWorkspace (MatrixWorkspace) "irs26176": The workspace must have common bin boundaries for all histograms at line 12 in '`<Interface>`'

We need to ensure that the input validation is as robust for IRIS/TOSCA as it is for OSIRIS, and that the wiki is correct and up-to-date.
