Before UHD version 3.9.0 on-board GPSDO modules for USRP
devices were automatically enabled if detected. After UHD
version 3.9.0 the UHD behavior changed to require explicit
setting of the reference to enable GPSDO use.
Modify the interfaces to pass 'internal', 'external' and
'gpsdo' reference options from configuration database into
the UHD driver layer. Convert the 'TRX.reference' entry in
the configuration from a boolean value to string.
Enabling the external reference on UHD devices through the configure
time switch is awkward. Use a database variable "TRX.Reference" with
'0' or '1' value for internal and external references respectively.
Use internal reference is no entry is defined.

Current functionality with these old versions is questionable.
There is no reason to use any version of GNU Radio / libusrp older
than 3.3. Version 3.4.2 is the only recommended version for USRP1
users.
Non-USRP1 users must use UHD driver from Ettus Research.

This patch applies oversampling, when selected with 4 sps,
to the downlink only, while running the receiver with
minimal sampling at 1 sps. These split sample rates allow
us to run a highly accurate downlink signal with minimal
distortion, while keeping receive path channel filtering
on the FPGA.
Without this patch, we oversample the receive path and
require a steep receive filter to get similar adjacent
channel suppression as the FPGA halfband / CIC filter
combination, which comes with a high computational cost.

Remove the built time resampling selection and link both options.
Move the normal push/pullBuffer() calls back to the base class and
overload them in the inherited resampling class.
USRP2/N2xx devices are the only devices that require resampling so
return that resampling is necessary on the device open(), which is
the point at which the device type will be known.
The GSM transceiver only operates at a whole number multiple of
the GSM rate and doesn't care about the actual device rate and
if resampling is used. Therefore GSM specific portion of the
transceiver should only need to submit the samples-per-symbol
value to the device interface.
Then, the device should be able to determine the appropriate
sample rate (400 ksps or 270.833 ksps) and if resampling is
appropriate.

UHD accepts optional 'args' that can be used for device descriptions
such as IP address, device type, etc. Allow these to be passed in on
the transceiver command line as the third argument (number of supported
carriers is the second argument). This option benefits those who may
have multiple UHD devices attached to a single system.
This option is not yet supported by GSM core and requires starting the
transceiver independently on the command line. This option has no
effect when USRP1 is used.

Transmit gain setting would deceptively set the receive
gain instead. Since transmit attenuation is a combination
of RF gain and digital scaling, this major copy/paste bug
may have gone unnoticed by many users.

Device errors regarding properties such as sample
rate or frequency tuning are almost always fatal and
lead to the common error "assuming TRX is dead".
Make sure that these errors are clearly presented to
the user.

The following option selects single daughterboard use on
side A only. Otherwise, the default setting is TX on A and
Rx on B.
./configure --with-singledb
Other options are possible, as per the following enum, but
for simplicity with configure options, there are only two
choices.
enum dboardConfigType {
TXA_RXB,
TXB_RXA,
TXA_RXA,
TXB_RXB
};

Transmit tuning was primarily setup for side A only. Some boards
- WBX - would still tune with improper channel arguments, though
receiver performance was disrupted.
Previous testing was primarily with single board on side A only
or dual configuration with side A transmit, so this bug largely
went undetected. Patch tested with RFX and WBX daughterboards
in single and dual configurations sides A and B.

Remove all RFX specific parts and control daughterboard
functionality using the base API. The tuning is now set
to a non-inverted image so remove the I/Q swap as well.
Daughterboard configuration is set through an enum
variable. Currently, there is no auto-configuration and
the default is Tx/RX on sides A/B respectively. For
transceiver boards the receive antenna is set to RX2.
enum dboardConfigType {
TXA_RXB,
TXB_RXA,
TXA_RXA,
TXB_RXB
};
const dboardConfigType dboardConfig = TXA_RXB;
