According to GSM TS 05.02, section 3.3.5, Cell Broadcast Channel
(CBCH) is a downlink only channel, which is used to carry the
short message service cell broadcast (SMSCB). CBCH is optional,
and uses the same physical channel as SDCCH. More precisely,
CBCH replaces sub-slot number 2 of SDCCH channels when enabled.
This change introduces the CBCH enabled multi-frame layouts,
and two separate logical channel types:
- GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH (lchan TRXC_SDCCH4_CBCH),
- GSM_PCHAN_SDCCH8_SACCH8C_CBCH (lchan TRXC_SDCCH8_CBCH).
Both logical channels are separately identified using
the following Osmocom specific cbits:
- TRXC_SDCCH4_CBCH - 0x18 (0b11000),
- TRXC_SDCCH8_CBCH - 0x19 (0b11001).
The reason of this separation is that we somehow need to
distinguish between CBCH on C0/TS0, and CBCH on CX/TS0.
Unlike TRXC_SDCCH8_CBCH, TRXC_SDCCH4_CBCH is enabled
automatically (TRX_CH_FLAG_AUTO), so CBCH messages
can be decoded on C0 while being in idle mode.

According to GSM TS 08.58, chapter 9.3.1, channel number 0x08
describes sub-slot number 0 of SDCCH/8+ACCH. This is definitely
wrong. In OsmoBTS we use an Osmocom specific extension for packet
switched channels - 0xc0, so let's use it here too.

This new flag is intended to indicate that continuous burst
transmission is assumed on particular logical channel. In other
words, if a logical channel has this flag, but there is nothing
to transmit in a TX buffer, then either a dummy LAPDm frame or
a silence frame shall be sent.

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.

This change implements basic TCH/F lchan handlers for both data
reception and transmission. Only FACCH (signaling), FR and EFR
payloads are supported at the moment.

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.
