Remove the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's
mailing address. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do
so again. In 2021 this is not useful, let's rather have a bit less
boilerplate at the start of source files.

So far we used to store the sums of ToA and RSSI measurements in the
logical channel state, and after decoding of a block, we did calculate
the average. This approach works fine for xCCH and PDTCH, but when it
comes to block-diagonal interleaving (which is used on TCH/F and TCH/H
channels), the results are incorrect. The problem is that a burst on
TCH may carry 57 bits of one encoded frame and 57 bits of another.
Instead of calculating the sum of measurements on the fly, let's push
them into a circular buffer (the measurement history), and keep them
there even after decoding of a block. This would allow us to calculate
the average of N last measurements depending on the interleaving type.
A single circular buffer can hold up to 8 unique measurements, so the
recent measurements would basically override the oldest ones.

There's no need to express ToA value as a float. Let's turn it into
an int16_t with 1/256 symbol period accuracy throughout the code to
avoid both float arithmetic as well as loosing any precision.

Previously, each lchan handler used to obtain and delete primitives
from a timeslot's tranmit queue itself. This approach entails many
potential problems and bugs:
- The lchan handlers shall not do that by definition, they
should encode and decode frames according to GSM 05.03.
- In some cases (e.g. TCH), a single transmit queue may contain
primitives of different types (e.g. TCH, FACCH and SACCH). At
the same time, the lchan handlers don't care and don't even
know about each other. So, this could cause an unexpected
behaviour in some cases.
This change separates all primitive management routines,
providing a new API for obtaining and dropping them.

It's better to pass a trx_lchan_state instance directly from
caller to lchan handler instead of passing trx_lchan_type. This
way a handler wouldn't need to find lchan itself.

It would be better to have xCCH, SCH and RACH burst handlers
in separate files, because as much code we add to a single
file, as harder it becomes to read and understand one.
