Components should use scipp data types for properties

scipp provides data types with units and uncertainties, and arrays with named dimension.

  • Using scipp data types will eliminate the current reliance on external knowledge for the units of stored values, and will also allow the use of a scalar vector to represent positions instead of the tuple triplet in use now.
  • There may also be benefits in serializing and de-serializing the component objects.
