[evlatests] Mosaicking

Mosaicking works much better now but isn't quite there yet.  My test
consisted of 5 scans, some regular pointing, some mosaicking, all
starting on the same calibrator.  The order of the scans:

1 - regular calibrator scan
2 - mosaicking scan (RSL mode), 6 samples
3 - mosaicking scan (regular, no RSL mode), 6 samples
4 - regular calibrator scan
5 - mosaicking scan (regular, non-RSL mode), 6 samples

Results:

a - For the first time, the proper names are being created for the
     individual Mosaicking samples
b - Sample positions between RSL and regular mosaicking differ slightly
     in RA, and are identical in Dec, as expected
c - the only problem I can see is that an extra scan is being inserted
     when transitioning to a Mosaicking scan (whether from a regular cal-
     ibrator scan or another Mosaicking scan).  This extra scan has the
     name of the preceding source or sample, but the position of the first
     sample of the new scan.

An example of c) is scan 9 in the following listing.  Scan 9 has the name
of the previous sample, 09273+39084, which is the last sample of the first
mosaicking scan.  But it gets assigned the position of the first sample of
the next mosaicking scan (09270+39023).  AIPS catches this and appends the
string '08' to the end of the 09273+39084 in order to tell them apart. The
same is true for scans 16/17, and maybe for scan 2 as well.
