Previously MAXDLY value was applied to Normal Bursts, which was nice
when working with sloppy test equipment like CMD57, but useless for
real world usage. At the same time documentation and de facto usage
of MAXDLY in OsmoBTS and OpenBTS assumed that it actually applies to
Access Bursts (RACH). So this patch changes osmo-rx behavior to apply
MAXDLY to RACH bursts and introduces a new command MAXDLYNB for the
old behavior.
debugLogEarly was replaced to an empty space and arguments of the function
became operators, grouped together by ():
Configuration.cpp: In member function 'bool ConfigurationTable::defines(const string&)':
Configuration.cpp:272:28: warning: left operand of comma operator has no effect [-Wunused-value]
debugLogEarly(LOG_ALERT, "configuration parameter %s not found", key.c_str());
^
This fix removes debugLogEarly together with its arguments.
Commit 871b8782 "EDGE: Add support for UmTRX" disabled B210 support
using EDGE. Add B210 explicitly to the timing offset table to avoid
this issue.

There doesn't seem to be a reason why this shouldn't be in master.
The fairwaves/master branch is removing --march=native as well that
looks like a good idea as well.
Timing recovery and single tap channel compensation are identical
in both GMSK and EDGE receivers. This is the section ahead of and
including the optional 4-1 downsampler. GMSK and EDGE specific
sections operate at 1 SPS.

When EDGE is enabled with the '-e' option, the random burst generator
switches from GMSK normal bursts to 8-PSK EDGE bursts.

Setup generators for empty, random, and dummy bursts. This moves error

At 4 samples per symbol, we don't need to maintain the 156/157 sample
slot structure to account for the GSM 156.25 sample burst length.
Set the 4 SPS Laurent modulator to ignore the guard interval setting
and always output 625 sample sized bursts. The EDGE 8-PSK modulator
already has this behavior.

Create EDGE slot type in the Transceiver. When EDGE mode is enabled
for a particular slot, blind detection will be performed by
correlating against EDGE followed by normal bursts if no EDGE burst
is found.

Setup correlator and detection process similar to the GMSK
receiver chain. Require 4 SPS sampling on both Rx and Tx paths
as 1 SPS sampling adds too much distoration for 8-PSK recovery.
Core receiver operations still run at 1 SPS with the exception
of fractional delay filtering, which runs at the higher rate.
Perform linear equalization to handle the Gaussian pulse
induced ISI. The fixed impulse response used for equalizer tap
calculation consists of combined EDGE pulse shape filter and
effects of the downsampling filter. Note that the non-adaptive
equalizer corrects for modulation induced band limiting and
does not account for or compensate for fading channel effects.

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.

We can't rely on an assumption that if we can't decode a burst - it's noise.
There are many rasons why we can't decode a burst even if it's well above the
noise level. Just one example is a RACH burst which can be overlapped with
another RACH burst up to a level both are completely unrecognizable. Another
example is when a burst is destroyed by bad multi-path.

It does more harm than good. the current noise calculation is too error
prone, so we can't trust it. And we end up loosing perfectly good bursts
because of that.

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.

R&S CMD57 complains about the start phase of bursts, particularly it shows
-15 to -30 deg of error for the bit 0.5 position (start tail bit). This patch
makes it happy. ETSI TS 145 004 section 2.2 describes this: "Before the first
bit of the bursts as defined in 3GPP TS 45.002 enters the modulator,
the modulator has an internal state as if a modulating bit stream consisting
of consecutive ones (di = 1) had entered the differential encoder."

Receive thread receives data from the device, which is a more stable source of
clocking than the transmit side. If transmit side has a hiccup, osmo-trx doesn't
send the clock indication, and transmit side is getting completely lost in time.
With this patch we ensure that clock indication keeps coming.

Filler types was of "bool" type, which prevented it from taking values greter
than 1. And RAND filler type has integer value of 2, which was casted to 1 on
assigning, which led to a normal filler table being used instead of the RAND
one.
