[evlatests] AG745 source names when fast-switching

[Walter Brisken]

idcaf does as Ken guesses -- it truncates.  This is consistent with most 
astronomical naming conventions, otherwise things get inconsistent around 
the equator.  It also keeps the digits in shortened names unmodified.  I 
can change it if idcaf's behavior is deemed incorrect but my understanding 
is that the new convention is more appropriate.
