For multiple transceiver connections, it is inappropriate to
allocate all sockets in the transceiver constructor due to not
knowing how many connections are avaialble in advance and for
error checking purposes. Instead, store the base socket address
port combination and setup the sockets in the initialization
call.

The current status and operability of this compile option is
unknown. Remove due to lack of use, demand, and maintenance.

Previous removal of the energy detector requirement broke
the noise level calculation loop. The previous adaptive
approach was finicky - noticably at high gain levels. Since
we no longer use the energy threshold for primary burst gating,
we can return to a simpler world.
In the new approach, we compute a running average of energy
levels and track them with a noise vector. A timeslot that
passes the correlator threshold is a valid burst. These are
not used in the noise calculation. Everything else is
considered noise and used to compute the noise level with
respect to full scale input level, which for almost all
supported devices is 2^15.

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.

This patch primarily addresses observed repeated overrun
conditions in embedded environments - namely ARM.
The heartbeat of the transceiver is derived from the receive
sample stream, which drives the main GSM clock. Detach the
transmit thread from the receive loop to avoid interfering with
the receive I/O, which is sensitive to overrun conditions if
pull process is interrupted.

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.

Because repeatedly typing mSamplesPerSymbol is giving me
carpal tunnel syndrome. Replace with the much shorter,
easier to type, and just as clear name of 'sps'.

Push the ability to set thread priority out to the 52M
Transceiver interface, because that's where the thread
control exists.
