[acs] Modified makelynx to support EPICS 7

[Brian Bevins]

All,

I have released a tweaked version of the linkmaker app (which includes makelynx) that allows EPICS 7 versions to be supported in the config file for an ioc.

As a medium term fix, the script now checks for "7" as the first character of the epics version and then expands it with the assumption that the minor version numbers are one digit. This allows it to map 7070j0 to 7.0.7.0.J0 in an analogous manner to how it maps 3159j0 to 3.15.9.J0.

Since this will eventually fail, the long term fix is that all EPICS versions can now be specified with dots. Any dot in the epics version causes it to be passed through without expansion. For example, "7.0.7.0.J0" and "3.14.12.3.J0" get passed through exactly as they are.
