[evlatests] old correlator shutdown

[Rob Long]

I can't think of any dependencies in the hardware that would cause a 
problem.  We purposefully tied all timing, clocks, and resets to the 
L350 (even for the VLA and old correlator) and the data is coming in 
through a passive splitter to both systems (correlators).  But, if it 
gives us some piece of mind it might be worth doing.  Just my 2 cents.
