Performance improvements and bug fixes

No substantial changes to the API, but takes advantage of some performance improvements in hexrd 0.8.6. Some new features/fixes include:

• vastly improved import tools for PXRDIP and TARDIS
  • improvements in the canvas update and lag time
  • previous detector boundary positions are 'remembered'
  • single image load for PXRDIP
  • arrow keys enabled to fine-tune cropping
• stability improvements to auto-fitting powder calibration
• cavans speed improvements to hand-picked calibration
• improved image stack importer for HEDM data

Enjoy!

Improvements to LLNL-style import tool and performance

With this release, PXRDIP-style image import has been greatly simplified; the source image only needs to be loaded once at the beginning now, and all detectors are cropped from a static canvas. There have also been some significant cleanup to some hanging background signals that were causing unnecessary latency.

Quick gui menu bug fix

The HEDM workflow menu items were mistakenly grayed out in the GUI. This patch fixes it.

Performance enhancements and bug fixes

Lots of updates and in this release, including:

• HEDM workflow
  • improved import for raw image series (in particular the case where there is 1 file per)
  • new indexing widget for loading/generating/view eta-omega maps and setting parameters
  • new grain fitting widget for setting parameters and viewing results
• Calibration
  • Massive improvements to the auto-fitting powder calibration method (Run --> Powder Calibration)
• WPPF
  • stability and performance improvements, including the ability to toggle on/off the fit overlays

and many, many bug fixes, streamlining, and speedup thanks to the hard work of @psavery, @bnmajor, @cjh1, and @saransh13

Bug fixes and feature enhancements

This release is long overdue, and includes some significant cleanup to image import and the calibration routines. A raft of bug fixes as well...
