Catalog menu/features are unusable if facility is not set to ISIS

This ticket is blocks : TRAC6512

I don't think this is new, but if your facility not ISIS none of this can be used as it's only set up for ICAT3. No matter what you put in the login box, you will get back an error without explanation. Surely we should do better in case someone does try to use it. Short-term possibilities might be one or more of the following:

• Remove the menu item entirely (or grey it out) if the facility is not set to SNS.
• Insert a check that pops up a dialog box explaining that this only works for ISIS.
• Add a statement to CatalogLogin's setOptionalMessage that this only works for ISIS.
• Add a property to CatalogLogin called 'Facility' (which will only have the option of ISIS for now).
