[evlatests] 180 degree phase jumps, and more

The "ten second phenomenon" is due to an Executor software bug.  Improper
rounding was occasionally causing the phase command for the first ten seconds 
of a scan to go out too late.  Fix implemented, code committed, will be put 
in standard Executor next update.  Thanks, Ken, for finding the smoking gun.

"18 B & D phenomenon" appears to be the "needs another foot of cable"
fix already implemented on Antenna 13 BD.  Has 13 BD been behaving itself 
since we did that about a month ago?  (Hmm.  If it happens again on a BD 
L302, I think we should re-route that cable a little.)
