* Simple but slow fix to allow observing diffraction mode again * Tried to introduce some optimizations but couldn't, current version is good-enough

The original emulator code was developed by @viljarjf based on the assumption that the Diffsims PR #232, pyxem/diffsims#232, will be merged into the main branch. Unfortunately, this has not come to fruition in the last year, and it unlikely to do so at all. This is a shame, because introducing changes from this PR #232 would improve simulation time by a factor of 2 to 3. Unfortunately, I do not have the time right now to take care of said PR.
With the changes to diffsims not pushed to the main branch, the code for simulating diffraction patterns in the emulator was left unusable. It imported objects and used methods that were defined only on said branch. Consequently, switching to diffraction mode at any time crashed the emulator.
This small patch reverts or at least prevents some of the 232-based changes from running, unless the functionality is available. Consequently, if diffsims PR 232 ever comes to be included in any form, the speed of the simulations will improve. For the time being, the speed stays underwhelming and may be an issue when trying to collect images fast, but the server does not crash and displays some visualization of the reciprocal space properly.
Note: This is just a mirror of #1, just this time to the main branch (previously merged to side branch because I'm dumb)
