ASAP SD task: enable list, save, restore, delete and rename flag version files


These flag version files are copies of the flag column for a
measurement set.  They can be restored to the data set to obtain
a previous flag version.  It is wise to
save a flagversion at the beginning or after serious editing.    

Keyword arguments:
infile -- Name of input SD dataset
        default: ''. example: infile='ngc5921.asap'
mode -- Flag version operation
        default: 'list'; to list existing flagtables
        'save' will save flag column from infile to a specified flag file
        'restore' will place the specified flag file into infile
        'delete' will delete specified flag file
        'rename' will rename a specified flag file

    >>> mode expandable parameters             
         versionname -- Flag version name
                 default: none; example: versionname='original_data'
                 No imbedded blanks in the versionname
         comment -- Short description of a versionname, when mode is 'save' 
                    or 'rename'
                 default: ''; example: comment='Clip above 1.85'
                 comment = versionname
         oldname -- When mode='rename', the flag file to rename
         merge -- Merge operation
                 Options: 'or','and', but not recommended for now.
