Satpy has a bug in it that doesn't properly assign platform_name in the metadata it returns for GOES-18 data. SIFT was solely using this metadata to determine its internal representation of the platform. Since it wasn't setup properly it was resulting in an "UNKNOWN" platform ("???" in the UI) being assigned to all GOES-18 data.
This PR fixes this by also looking at platform_shortname. This means that it should recognize G18 data immediately without the future Satpy fix that I'm working on.
Closes #325
