Have you ever had the nagging feeling that you dropped a digit from your field notebook to your magnetometer computer? Have you ever wished, while using the Demag GUI, that you could see what orientation information is being used for your data?

Fear not, for this PR adds orientation information to the Demag GUI sidebar. Pretty simple. Does what it says. Doesn't provide capability to edit that orientation information directly in the GUI.

A challenge here is that the folks are usually not used to viewing their orientation data in the MagIC convention of Sample X Direction Azimuth and Sample X Direction Dip (Dip of sample’s x direction from the horizontal increasing downward) which could get confusing. Could have fields say "Sample X direction azimuth" and "Sample X direction dip" of "Sample X azimuth" and "Sample X dip" to try and clarify (the font can be smaller to match other headings)

A small thing is that I always think about Bedding Dip Direction and then Dip (rather than dip then dip direction as presented)

@Swanson-Hysell I've adopted both of those suggestions. Orientation is now clarified, and somewhat smaller, and Bedding Dip Direction comes before Dip. (I actually think of that the other way, lol.)

Addressed @Swanson-Hysell comments on this basic functionality improvement, now merged. We can have later discussion about if editing in place is worthwhile as related to orientations.
