Lattice orientation distribution example

This example shows GISAS by an isotropic mixture of lattices. On top of a substrate, we have square lattices of cylinders. The lattice orientation has a uniform distribution over the full range form $0^\circ$ to $90^\circ$.

The differently oriented lattices are incoherently summed using a loop over the parameter distribution samples. This is currently supported only under Python scripting, not in the GUI.
