sasview: SasView 4.0 Beta 1

Beta Release This release is a beta, meaning it is intended as a relatively stable test release prior to the final 4.0 production release. There are many improvements over the last production release (3.1.2) as detailed in the previous alpha release notes. The main improvement is the restructuring of the models interface meaning that user supplied models are written in the same way as core models and can be added without rebuilding SasView. User models can also take advantage of polydispersity and GPU acceleration in the same way as core models.
