Similar to what we do in osmo-bts-trx, group everything related to
an Uplink burst into a structure. Pass a pointer to this structure
to the logical channel handlers. This makes the code easier to read,
and facilitates sending NOPE indications to the transceiver
(will be introduced in the upcoming patch).
Get rid of sched_trx_handle_tx_burst(), and instead just call
sched_trx_a5_burst_enc() directly from sched_frame_clck_cb().

It may happen that the burst reception would start from bid != 0:
<0005> sched_trx.c:263 (Re)configure TDMA timeslot #2 as TCH/H+SACCH
<0005> sched_trx.c:420 Activating lchan=TCH/H(0) on ts=2
<0005> sched_trx.c:420 Activating lchan=SACCH/TH(0) on ts=2
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:96 Received incomplete data frame at fn=0 (0/104) for SACCH/TH(0)
<0006> sched_lchan_xcch.c:106 Received bad data frame at fn=0 (0/104) for SACCH/TH(0)
so in that case, both measurement processing and the frame number
calculation would yield incorrect and/or incomplete results. The
Rx burst mask can be used to eliminate this problem.
In particular, if we shift it left instead of cleaning, it would
never be equal 0x00 after at least one burst is received. This
would allow us to skip decoding of an incomplete frame at the
beginning when the logical channel was just activated.
Note that TCH/H handler is not affected because it already uses
the strategy described above, so we keep it unchanged.

Using TDMA frame number of a burst with bid=0 is fine for xCCH,
but not for TCH and FACCH, because they use the block-diagonel
interleaving. A single block on TCH may be interleaved over
8, 4 or even 6 consecutive bursts depending on its type.
Since we now have the measurement history, we can attach TDMA
frame number to each measurement set, and then look up N-th
one when averaging the measurements in sched_trx_meas_avg().

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.

The gsm0503_pdtch_encode() returns negative number on error,
and the amount of encoded bits in case of success.

Instead of counting both RSSI and ToA measurements separately,
let's have a single counter in trx_lchan_state.meas struct.
