Modify config

[glass-ships]

Description of work:

• Renames ~/.refredm.conf to ~/.quicknxs.conf and removes functionality to read/write nearly all Q settings from this file.

  • It retains the ability to customize settings within the reduction pop-up dialog,
    as well as adding a button to reset the output filename template to the default.
  • This should make behavior more consistent between users and less dependent on subtle differences in environment/configuration.

• It also writes scaling_error as an additional column to reduced data files, and adds backwards-compatible functionality to read in this new column.

• Passively adds some type hinting, a util method for reading columns from reduced data, and some other small tweaks/formatting

Check all that apply:

• added release notes
  (if not, provide an explanation in the work description)
• updated documentation
• Source added/refactored
• Added unit tests
• Added integration tests

Check list for the reviewer

• All the tests are passing
• The documentation is up to date
• code comments added when explaining intent
