Bulk move of tickets out of triage (new) to assigned at the introduction of the triage state

@PeterParker (2014-03-19T14:40:08):
There is a problem with the current state of LoadMask/SaveMask, whereby date information corresponding to the run being masked does not survive the "roundtrip" of being written out and then read back in. This is problematic for runs which use an older version of an instrument's IDF.

There are more details in http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/9205, which is a ticket to implement a makeshift solution to this problem that will suit the needs of the SANS ISIS interface. A redesign of masking should probably include something more substantial.

Time estimate for design: 1 month. Very long due to experience in the past on trying to pin down requirements and come up with a sound design
