vectorSlicer() converts soft-bits from -1..+1 to 0..1 while we want
to keep SoftVector in -1..+1 mode until the last minute, because at some
point we'll want to transmit -1..+1 to osmo-bts instead of converting it
from 0..1 back to -1..+1 on the osmo-bts side.
Plus it removes code duplication - we call it once instead of twice.

This makes it similar to 8-PSK demod and also saves a bit of lines ofcode and
should give us a tiny improvement in performance.
Ideally we need to remove vector slicing at all, because in osmo-bts-trx

So we should rather transmit +-1.0 values to avoid double conversion.

There are two primary changes in this commit:
1) Return values of detect functions changed form bool to int to actually pass
the return value from the inner function and notify higher levels about clipping.
Previously the information was lost due to conversion to bool.
2) Clipping level is not the final verdict now. We still try to demod a burst
and mark it as clipped only if the level is above the clipping level AND we can't
demod it. The reasoning for this is that in real life we want to do as much as
possible to demod the burst, because we want to get as much from our dynamic
range as possible. So a little bit of clipping is fine and is expected. We just
don't want too much of it to break our demod.

With dual-channels on B210, we lose the ability to reset both
channels to a synchronized state. Instead, let the timestamp
clock start with an arbitary value, which is the first
timestamp received from the device, instead of a near-zero
value. This approach also makes integration for device, in
general, with free-running timestamp clocks.

Burst selection at a particular time works in the following order
of priority.
1. Slot is disabled with channel combination set to NONE (default)
1. Burst exists in priority queue for the current time.
2. Filler table entry is used
This patch sets default behaviour to force all filler table entries
to zero and disallows filler table changes. This effectively means
that only bursts received from upper layers will be transmitted and
nothing will be automatically transmitted in the absence or delay
of incoming burts at a particular time.
New Command line option "Enable C0 filler table" allows reverting
to previous idle burst generation and retransmission behaviour on
TRX0. Retransmission cannot be enabled on non-C0 channels.

This patch add support for dual channel diversity on the receive
path. This allows two antennas two shared antennas to be used for
each ARFCN handling channel in the receiver. This configuration
may improvde performance in multi-path fading environments,
however, noise andpotential interference levels are increased due
to the higher bandwidth used.
The receive path is oversampled by a factor of four for a rate
of 1.083333 Msps. If the receive paths are tuned within a
maximum channel spacing (currently set at 600 kHz), then both
ARFCN frequencies are processed by each channel of the receiver.
Otherwise, the frequency shifted diversity path is disabled and
standard non-diversity operation takes place.
Diversity processing is handled by selecting the path with the
higheset energy level and discarding the burst on the second
path. Selection occurs on a burst-by-burst basis.

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.
