lalapps_splitSFTs: preserve misc description field from original SFT filenames, modify "NB" naming convention to remove underscores

Karl Wette requested to merge ANU-CGA/lalsuite:splitSFTs-preserve-misc into master

Description

Misc field defined in SFT spec preserved in narrow-band SFT filenames: appears after narrow-band frequency/width spec (as last field of SFT "D" field; see the spec), just before the GPS time.

(Unofficial) naming convention for narrow-band SFTs modified to ...1800SFT_NBFxxxxHzWxxxxHz... so that narrow-band frequency/width spec is just one subfield within the SFT "D" field, i.e. it contains no underscores. This will make it easier for tools to parse SFT filenames and extract the various (sub)fields.
