Ship instrument vtp files with installers

[martyngigg]

This issue was originally TRAC 6261

This ticket is blocks : TRAC7908

We currently ship (accidentally) the .vtp files for the instruments that happen to have the unit tests run on them. Ship them for each definition that we ship

(In http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/7908) Something deep within OpenCascade concerning the writing of the vtp files is scuppering me here - it's locking up for some reason.

Re-visit this after http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/6261 is done. In fact, that will likely remove most of the benefit of this ticket anyway as most of the time is in generating these files. Here are the timings on my machine:

• Parallel, not writing vtp files: 21s
• Not parallel, vtp files there: 95s
• Not parallel, writing vtp files: 20 minutes

Moved out to backlog as not enough time in R3.0

Bulk move to assigned at the introduction of the triage step

Given that the vtp files are now generated outside in the user config directory and we have instrument downloading I think the benefits of this are quite small now.

We could choose to revisit this if it becomes and issue in the future.
