cosmetic: tweak README

I noticed that the README is prominently shown on github, so it makes sense
to get rid of the worst typos and misinformation there.

Repository forw the Osmocom BTS implementation.
= Repository for the Osmocom BTS implementation. =
This code implementes the Layer 2 and higher of a more or less
conventional GSM BTS (Base Transceiver Station) - however, using an
Abis/IP interface, rather than the old-fashioned E1/T1.

== Summary ==
This code implements Layer 2 and higher of a more or less conventional GSM BTS
(Base Transceiver Station) - however, using an Abis/IP interface, rather than
the old-fashioned E1/T1.
Specifically, this includes
* BTS-Side implementation of TS 08.58 (RSL) and TS 12.21 (OML)
* BTS-Side implementation of LAPDm (using libosmocore/libosmogsm)
* A somewhat separated interface between those higher layer parts
and the Layer1 interface.
* BTS-side implementation of TS 08.58 (RSL) and TS 12.21 (OML)
* BTS-side implementation of LAPDm (using libosmocore/libosmogsm)
* A somewhat separated interface between those higher layer parts and the
Layer1 interface.
Right now, only one hardware and Layer1 are supported: The sysmocom
sysmoBTS.
There is some experimental and way incomplete code to use a couple of
OsmocomBB phones and run them in the BTS. However, the required code
for the Calypso DSP code have not been written yet. This would still
require a lot of work.
Some additional work is being done in using some parts of the OpenBTS
L1FEC and glue it against omso-bts. This code is called osmo-trx and
requires the jolly/trx branch of this repository.
Several kinds of BTS hardware are supported:
* sysmocom sysmoBTS
* Octasic octphy
* Nutaq litecell 1.5
* software-defined radio based osmo-bts-trx (e.g. B210)

* Doesn't yet include MAC address in Abis/IP Identity message
* MphConfig.CNF can be returned to the wrong callback. E.g. with Tx Power
and ciphering. The dispatch should take a look at the hLayer3.
