osmo-trx can start a considerable amount of threads that can make
debugging it challenging at least. By using phtread_setname_np, the
system sets a meaningful name to the thread which can be seen while
debugging with gdb or by printing /proc/$pid/task/$tid/comm.
Now we also log system TID when setting the name so we can identify
different tasks in /proc even if pthread_setname_np fails.

The 'diversity' option was an experimental 2 antenna receiver
implementation for UmTRX. The implementation has not been
maintained and current working status is unknown.
In addition to code rot, Coverity is triggering errors in the
associated code sections.
Removal of code cleans up many cases of special handling that
were necessary to accommodate the implementation.

Two buffers, inner and outer, are used in the transceiver
implementation. The outer buffer interfaces with the device receive
interface to guarantee timestamp aligned and contiguously allocated
sample buffers. The inner buffer absorbs vector size differences between
GSM bursts (156 or 157 samples) and the resampler interface (typically
fixed multiples of 65).
Reimplement the inner buffer with a ring buffer that allows fixed size
segments on the outer (resampler) portion and variable lengths (GSM
side) on the inner side. Compared to the previous stack-like version,
this implementation removes unnecessary copying of buffer contents.

Right now if you forget to send "POWER" control command, osmo-trx
will transmitt zeros. This is counter-intuitive and I've spent several
hours debugging this "issue". The issue may happen easily, because
osmo-bts doesn't send "POWER" command if there is no "power" setting
in the configuration file. Given that "POWER" command actually sets
attenuation, it's percieved as optional and in absence of it should
default to "POWER 0" (no attenuation), which translates to power
scale being 1.0.

Non-zero buffer indices may lead to uplink/downlink timing offset

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.

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.

Previous send and receive buffers at the radio interface were
arbitrarily set to a sufficient size. For normal (non-resampling)
devices, use a block (chunk) size of 625 samples. For 64 or 100

numerator or denominator and provide bounds checking where
appropriate.

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.

Remove the built time resampling selection and link both options.
Move the normal push/pullBuffer() calls back to the base class and
overload them in the inherited resampling class.
USRP2/N2xx devices are the only devices that require resampling so
return that resampling is necessary on the device open(), which is
the point at which the device type will be known.
The GSM transceiver only operates at a whole number multiple of
the GSM rate and doesn't care about the actual device rate and
if resampling is used. Therefore GSM specific portion of the
transceiver should only need to submit the samples-per-symbol
value to the device interface.
Then, the device should be able to determine the appropriate
sample rate (400 ksps or 270.833 ksps) and if resampling is
appropriate.

Commit e161523c (transceiver: simplify transmit power control)
changed transmit gain control to RF setting only. This was
appropriate for a WBX board with 25 dB of gain control, but
inappropriate for an RFX with fixed transmit gain.
RFX boards will regain the ability to set transmit
attenuation. Since gain is set on the RF side first,
reintroducing digital gain settings should have limited
