Change behaviour for naming the IMS SGW converters

RDz 8.0 Beta 3c has the following (undesired) behaviour for naming a generated converter:

If in ServiceSpecification.xml the DriverSpec/@fileNamePrefix has the value OX0810 the following names will be used to generate the converter files:
OX0810D.pli
OX811D.pli
OX812D.pli
...
i.e. if fileNamePrefix ends with a number, the number will be incremented. In other words: the fileNamePrefix is not used as a constant value.

Desired behaviour: Do not change the configured fileNamePrefix, only add characters. If total length of resulting converter name exceeds 8 characters, terminate generator with an exception.
