If the main thread crashes, the CLCKGen's thread would never stop.
It would also happen if the main thread terminates without calling
CLCKGen.stop(). Let's prevent this by creating a daemon thread.

The previous approach was based on threading.Timer, so on each clock
iteration one thread spawned another new thread. So far it worked
well, but such frequent spawning involves an additional overhead.
After this change, CLCKGen.start() allocates and starts a new thread,
that periodically sends clock indications and sleep()s during the
indication intervals. The CLCKGen.stop() in its turn terminates
that thread and frees the memory.

Since TRXD header version 1, we should send NOPE indications to the
L1 side in absence of TRX2L1 bursts, and IDLE indications during
IDLE TDMA frames (basically noise measurements).
This change is the first step towards the goal: if a given burst
is to be dropped due to the path loss simulation (see FAKE_DROP),
mark the carrier TRX2L1 message as NOPE.ind and send anyway.

The burst transformation in BurstForwarder.forward_msg() used to be
done only once, so then the resulting message was distributed over
the list of connected (and active) transceivers.
This approach limits the path loss simulation capabilities, because
a reference to the same message is passed to FakeTRX.send_data_msg().
If one transceiver changes (or removes) the burst bits, the other
transceivers would not receive the original message.
Let's do the transformation individually for each transceiver,
so the original message will always remain unchanged.

Since version 3.8, Python warnins us that using the "is" and "is not"

Before using DATA_MSG.HDR_LEN, we need to make sure that a parsed
header version is known and supported. Otherwise we will get an
IndexError exception.
Change-Id: Ie1887aa8709da1a2a287aa58a7873e72c0b4ed33
Unlike DATA_MSG.HDR_LEN, the CHDR_LEN is a constant that defines
length of the common header, which is mandatory for every version.
DATA_MSG.HDR_LEN in its turn defines length of the whole header,
including the version specific fields. Thus we need to know the
header version before using it.
In DATA_MSG.parse_msg() we need to parse the common header first,
so then we know the version and length of the whole header. After
that we can safely use DATA_MSG.HDR_LEN.

For sure, the following message is much more informative:

C/I (Carrier-to-Interference ratio) is a value in cB (centiBels),
computed from the training sequence of each received burst,
by comparing the "ideal" training sequence with the received one.
This change introduces a new command similar to FAKE_TOA and FAKE_RSSI,
so it can be used by TTCN-3 test case 'TC_pcu_data_ind_lqual_cb' to
verify that the link quality measurements are delivered to the PCU.

Messages on DATA interface may have different header formats, defined
by a version number, which can be negotiated on the control interface.
By default, the Transceiver will use the legacy header version (0).
The header format negotiation can be initiated by the L1 using the
'SETFORMAT' command. If the requested version is not supported by
the transceiver, status code of the response message should indicate
a preferred (basically, the latest) version. The format of this
message is the following:
L1 -> TRX: CMD SETFORMAT VER_REQ
L1 <- TRX: RSP SETFORMAT VER_RSP VER_REQ
where:
- VER_REQ is the requested version (suggested by the L1),
- VER_RSP is either the applied version if matches VER_REQ,
or a preferred version if VER_REQ is not supported.
If the transceiver indicates VER_RSP different than VER_REQ, the L1
is supposed to reinitiate the version negotiation using the suggested
VER_RSP. For example:
L1 -> TRX: CMD SETFORMAT 2
L1 <- TRX: RSP SETFORMAT 1 2
L1 -> TRX: CMD SETFORMAT 1
L1 <- TRX: RSP SETFORMAT 1 1
If no suitable VER_RSP is found, or the VER_REQ is incorrect,
the status code in the response shall be -1.
As soon as VER_RSP matches VER_REQ in the response, the process
of negotiation is complete. Changing the header version is
supposed to be done before POWERON, but can be also done after.

Since the new TRXD header format has been introduced, FakeTRX needs
to be able to fill it correctly. In particular, the following:
- Modulation, which can be determined from the burst length;
- Training Sequence Code (and set), which needs to be detected
by comparing the burst bits of L12TRX message against known
training sequences (only GMSK and the default TS set for now);
- C/I (Carrier-to-Interference ratio), which can be simulated
later on, as instructed on the TRXC interface ('FAKE_CI').
The actual TRXD header version is stored in the instance of class
DATAInterface. By default (at startup), legacy version 0 is used.
The version negotiation is supposed to be performed on the TRXC
interface, and to be implemented in a follow-up change.
Different Transceivers may use different header versions, thus in
FakeTRX.send_data_msg() we need to override the original version
of the L12TRX message, and generate the corresponding PDU.
Limitations:
- NOPE / IDLE indications are not (yet) supported;
- TSC detection: GMSK modulation only.

Training Sequences are defined in 3GPP TS 45.002, and used by the
transceiver for detecting bursts. This change introduces an enum
with training sequences for GMSK for Access and Normal bursts.
This enumeration is needed for the follow-up changes that implement
TRXD header version 1 support, and can now be used by RandBurstGen.

Since version 0x01, the burst bits are encoded as L16V,

The new version adds the following fields to the TRX2L1 message,
keeping the L12TRX message unchanged:
+------+-----+-----+-----+--------------------+
| RSSI | ToA | MTS | C/I | soft-bits (254..0) |
+------+-----+-----+-----+--------------------+
- MTS (1 octet) - Modulation and Training Sequence info, and
- C/I (2 octets) - Carrier-to-Interference ratio (big endian).
== Coding of MTS: Modulation and Training Sequence info
3GPP TS 45.002 version 15.1.0 defines several modulation types,
and a few sets of training sequences for each type. The most
common are GMSK and 8-PSK (which is used in EDGE).
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | bit numbers (value range) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . . . . . X X X | Training Sequence Code (0..7) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . X X X X . . . | Modulation, TS set number (see below) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| X . . . . . . . | IDLE / nope frame indication (0 or 1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
The bit number 7 (MSB) is set to high when either nothing has been
detected, or during IDLE frames, so we can deliver noise levels,
and avoid clock gaps on the L1 side. Other bits are ignored,
and should be set to low (0) in this case.
== Coding of modulation and TS set number
GMSK has 4 sets of training sequences (see tables 5.2.3a-d),
while 8-PSK (see tables 5.2.3f-g) and the others have 2 sets.
Access and Synchronization bursts also have several synch.
sequences.

== C/I: Carrier-to-Interference ratio
The C/I value is computed from the training sequence of each burst,
where we can compare the "ideal" training sequence with the actual
training sequence, and then express that difference in centiBels.

It may be necessary to extend the message specific header with
more information. Since this is not a TLV-based protocol, we
need to include the header format version.
+-----------------+------------------------+
| 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | bit numbers |
+-----------------+------------------------+
| X X X X . . . . | header version (0..15) |
+-----------------+------------------------+
| . . . . . X X X | TDMA TN (0..7) |
+-----------------+------------------------+
| . . . . X . . . | RESERVED (0) |
+-----------------+------------------------+
Instead of prepending an additional byte, it was decided to use
4 MSB bits of the first octet, which used to be zero-initialized
due to the value range of TDMA TN. Therefore, the current header
format has implicit version 0x00.
Otherwise Wireshark (or trx_sniff.py) would need to guess the
header version, or alternatively follow the control channel
looking for the version setting command.
The reserved bit number 3 can be used in the future to extend
the TDMA TN range to (0..15), in case anybody would need
to transfer UMTS bursts.

Since fake_trx.py can handle multiple transceivers, it may be useful
to name transceivers. If transceiver has some name, it will appear
in logging messages, for example:
[INFO] transceiver.py:104 Init transceiver 'BTS@127.0.0.1:5700'

[INFO] transceiver.py:104 Init transceiver '127.0.0.1:5700/1'
This change additionally assigns names to the both default
transceivers, and extends the '--trx' option with ability
to specify some name, for example:
--trx foo@127.0.0.1:5700 or --trx bar@127.0.0.1:5700/1
