[evlatests] Update on Strange R-L phase behavior

[Sanjay Bhatnagar]

A simpler way to achieve the same would be:

1. For deriving R-L phases, use source model that includes known effects 
of antenna pointing offsets (from pointing measurements) and measured 
antenna aperture illumination patterns.  This can be done in CASA.

2. I am less sure here, but since the celestial source is compact, I 
_think_ if the data is pointing offset-corrected before deriving R-L 
phases, it will effectively achieve almost the same as above.
