FAST files with 7 bands not missing one band

[warmerdam]

For reasons that are not clear to me, a client's EOSAT FAST FORMAT file with seven bands is only seeing six of them through GDAL. The fastdataset.cpp seems to be hardcoded to only look for six bands.

The client reports having the following files:

03/06/2000  08:05 AM        76,489,600 BAND1.DAT

I have incorporated a preliminary change to support seven band files (r18415) in trunk.

I'm seeking permission to make the header file public, and incorporate a regression test.

[warmerdam]

Regression test added in trunk (r18416). The demonstration file is autotest/gdrivers/data/HEADER.DAT.

Back ported into 1.6 (r18417) for 1.6.4.
