that the receive RF gain level is too high for the configured
transceiver setup.

Allow non-in-place use of the delay setting. Internally, the delay call
creates a new vector and copies the contents back into the original.
Instead, provide the option to return the computed output vector
directly and remove an an extra copy in the process.

This prevents the use of a copy constructor in the downlink
modulator and prevents a secondary memory allocation during
the convolution. Avoid both cases by dynamically allocating
with preloaded head room. The latter provides enough memory
before the first sample in the burst to cover the length
of the filter taps.

This patch applies oversampling, when selected with 4 sps,
to the downlink only, while running the receiver with
minimal sampling at 1 sps. These split sample rates allow
us to run a highly accurate downlink signal with minimal
distortion, while keeping receive path channel filtering
on the FPGA.
Without this patch, we oversample the receive path and
require a steep receive filter to get similar adjacent
channel suppression as the FPGA halfband / CIC filter
combination, which comes with a high computational cost.

Replace the polyphase filter and resampler with a separate
implementation using SSE enabled convolution. The USRP2 (including
derived devices N200, N210) are the only supported devices that
require sample rate conversion, so set the default resampling
parameters for the 100 MHz FPGA clock. This changes the previous
resampling ratios.
270.833 kHz -> 400 kHz (65 / 96)
270.833 kHz -> 390.625 kHz (52 / 75)
The new resampling factor uses a USRP resampling factor of 256
instead of 250. On the device, this allows two halfband filters to
be used rather than one. The end result is reduced distortial and
aliasing effecits from CIC filter rolloff.
B100 and USRP1 will no be supported at 400 ksps with these changes.

This large patch replaced the convolve() call with an SSE vector
enabled version. The lower C and SSE intrinsic based code operates
on fixed and aligned vectors for the filter taps. The storage format
of interleaved I/Q for both complex and real vectors is maintained.
SSE filter tap values must:
1. Start 16-byte aligned
2. Number with a multiple of 4 between 4 and 20 for real taps
3. Number with a multiple of 4 for complex taps
Non-compliant values will fall back to non-SSE usage. Fixed length
iterators mean that head and tail cases may require reallocation of
the input vector, which is automatically handled by the upper C++
interface.
Other calls are affected by these changes and adjusted or rewritten
accordingly. The underlying algorithms, however, are unchanged.

There is no temporal dependency on when the RACH sequence is generated,
so there is no need for transceiver to create it in response to a
command from GSM core. If we power on the transceiver, we will need
the RACH sequence, so just allocate it during initialization.

There is no reason expose the pulse shaping filter outside of the
signal processing calls. The main transceiver object makes no use
of the filter and there's no reason to pass it around.
Initialize the pulse shape with the signal processing library, and
maintain an internal static member like many of the other library
variables. Similarly destroy the object when the library is closed.

Remove radio clock and vector interfaces into their own
files. This clears up and simplifies the radio interface
and, additionaly, prepares for a further split of the I/O
portion for optional resampler use.
