[daip] DFTPL only averages IF 1

Dear DAIP,
DFTPL seems to average only the first IF (for VLA data anyhow): at least
I got identical answers for DFTPL run on (1) a standard VLA continuum
data set with 2 IF pairs, and (2) the same data set, after UVCOPing just the
1st IF. DFTPL did give a different answer for the UVCOP of just the 2nd IF,
so there is a way around this, but it's kind of annoying. So, suggestions
in order of ease & utility:
1- Fix the documentation to say PROMINENTLY that this task looks only at the
first IF
2- Fix the task to average over all IFs by default
3- Add BIF/EIF to allow the user to select which IFs to average
The latter would be very useful; UVCOP is not a big deal, but it adds
another step which doesn't seem very necessary.
Thanks,
Michael
