Description
We currently only store the minimum required information in NXcanSAS files. But we can write a lot more metadata similarly to how we do that in CIF, orso, and SQW files. The generic NeXus workflow already provides most of what we need. So this is just a matter of serialising the models to NeXus.
This may need / benefit from some changes in ScippNeXus.

Research direction
Trace the existing NXcanSAS serialization and compare it with the metadata written for CIF, orso, and SQW files. Read the generic NeXus workflow and inspect whether ScippNeXus needs changes; done means the additional models are serialized into NXcanSAS files with the expected metadata.
