Description

Continuation from scipp/ess#504

We need to load sample information from the file. This includes logs for time-dependent quantities but also static data like the sample name, chemical formula, etc. The latter are mainly needed for the output file.

Unfortunately, we need to wait until we know how this data will be stored in the raw NeXus files. And then we should compare different techniques and try load as much as possible using common code.

Research direction

Start by reading the continuation issue scipp/ess#504 and determine how sample metadata will be stored in raw NeXus files. Compare the techniques once that storage is defined; done means common code loads both time-dependent logs and static sample details for the output file.
