[evlatests] First WIDAR dual pol'n through to AIPS

With a little fiddling, we have successfully recorded 11-antenna WIDAR-0
dual polarization data (RR+LL, IFs A & C) and gotten those data all the
way through to AIPS.  This is the first end-to-end use of WIDAR for
polarization observations, and involves using "in anger" much little-tested
software: the crossbar GUI; multiple correlations on a single correlator
chip; new settings in the BDF and SDM, written by the CBE and MCAF.  This
also involved using the new (IF C) Station Boards for real observations for
the first time.

Many thanks to all those involved!!
