catime limited to 10000 connections if 'append number' is true

[Ralph Lange]

When calling catime with "append number" set to >0 and a channel count of > 10000, like this:
  catime mrk 11000 1
it will only connect to 10000 channels and never get beyond "channel connect test" (checked with casr on the server side).

I think I see that the root problem is that "excas -c<n>" isnt compatible with "catime fred <n> 1". Digging deeper I see that excas is creating n PVs with names "fred000000" through "fred000nnn" and catime is creating channels with names "fred0" through "frednnn". I think that the excas approach is compatible with Marty's regression tests, and the catime approach isnt. I decided to make catime the same as excas.

[Jeff Hill (johill-lanl)]

Previous comment is backwards. Correct statement is that catime matches Marty's approach and that excas doesnt. I fixed excas to match Marty's approach.

Fixed in R3.14.7
