[Simh] RP/RM differences in header commands (for ITS, salvager)

I don't think it's that straightforward. The write header and data
command must include the proper Massbus word count for header and data.
The Unibus side of the RH11 is doing 18b transfers, and so is the disk
side, so the word count ought to be 260 for an RP and 258 for an RM.
If the simulator doesn't "skip" the right number of header words, SALV
is going to fail on its block data check.
