Tutorials open in browser to avoid PDF failure

[lucas-wilkins]

The links to tutorials from the document editor don't work because they're PDF files, and it can't open them

I've changed the tutorial opening behaviour to back to just opening a web link as it did before.

I've opened an issue for updating the editor to handle PDFs - #2926

fixes #2908

Help > Tutorials does spawn a new window in the default browser but the links still do not open (but do work if you copy/paste them into a browser tab or file explorer).

Help > Documentation > User Documentation > Working with SasView > Tutorials still uses the Documentation Viewer and again the links do not open.

I have tried clearing my browser (Chrome) cache and even resetting. Made no difference.

Others should see what behaviour they get on different platforms/browsers.

problem if one tries to link to pdf from the documentation itself. Maybe remove from documentation itself? Needs some testing? @smk78 and @lucas-wilkins to discuss. Others should try installer.

Help > Tutorials now opens a browser page at https://www.sasview.org/docs/user/tutorial.html and so the links now work.

A separate PR will need to address the route by Help > Documentation > User Documentation > Working with SasView > Tutorials

@smk78 That link hasn't been removed has it?
