Tune timing values after testing on UHD 003.009.002 for E3XX.
Table value for 1 sps was off by 10 samples causing improper
operation. Table value for 4 sps was shifted by 1 sample for
more accurate timing.
Also update E3XX description string detection.

Delay the EDGE downlink bursts by one symbol in order to match GMSK
pulse shaping group delay. The difference in group delay arises from
the dual pulse filter combination of the GMSK Laurent represenation
whereas 8-PSK uses a single pulse linear filter.

Allow setting the device to non single SPS sample rates - mainly
running at 4 SPS as the signal processing library does not support
other rates. Wider bandwith support is required on the receive path
to avoid 8-PSK bandlimiting distortion for EDGE.

Add stop and restart capability through the POWEROFF and POWERON
commands. Calling stop causes receive streaming to cease, and I/O
threads to shutdown leaving only the control handling thread running.
Upon receiving a POWERON command, I/O threads and device streaming are
restarted.
Proper shutdown of the transceiver is now initiated by the destructor,
which calls the stop command internally to wind down and deallocate
threads.

UHD requires a small amount of time to align multiple streams at
startup. Delay the startup by 100 ms relative to the queried device time
(actual delay inclusive of control latencies will be less).
The following error is only relevant to dual-channel UHD devices (e.g.
Fairwaves UmTRX and Ettus B210).
UHD Error:
The receive packet handler failed to time-align packets.
1002 received packets were processed by the handler.
However, a timestamp match could not be determined.

Allow command line setting of the DSP frequency in UHD. All channels
will be tuned with the same offset. Dual-channel tuning with the B210,

The main difference between existing UmTRX dual channel is the
single LO on B210 transmit and receive front-ends vs. independent
tuning paths. In order to support dual-ARFCN frequencies, baseband
offset conversion must be applied by tuning the FPGA CORDIC for
each channel. For B210, the following tuning order is applied.
1. If the new frequency of channel A is within the baseband range
of channel B, then retune both channels with the RF centered
and equal valued positive and negative baseband shifts.
2. If the new frequency of channel A is not with the baseband range
of channel B, then retune channel A directly (without manual
applied offset). Channel B will no longer be tuned to the
previous frequency.

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.

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.

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.
