ARRAY identification

It is proposed that the antennas retain the same global numbering scheme across the MS as a whole, and not be allowed to vary independently for each ARRAY_ID. Thus ARRAY_ID is no longer a secondary antenna index, but does retain its primary purpose to separate antennas in the MAIN table for calibration purposes. There are advantages to enforcing a global antenna numbering scheme, particularly when antennas are shared between subarrays and may thus share certain calibration information.
