New UHD versions support split configuration of Tx gain stages.
We utilize this to set the gain configuration, optimal for
the Tx signal quality. From our measurements, VGA1 must be
18dB plus-minus one and VGA2 is the best when 23dB or lower.

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.

For clean shutdown in the transceiver we need to cancel and join
running threads for orderly unwinding. Thread cancellation points
already exist, so we just need to be able to call on the threads to
exit out when stopping or shutting down.
Don't error when joining a NULL thread, which would be the case if a
thread was stopped before ever being started to begin with.

An errant shuffle register value used in complex-complex convolution

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).

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.

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.
