The VA is already being used by the ms side and is part of the original
gsm design. It only works for gmsk, 4sps, and needs a bit of rx burst
scaling and burst shifting.

This also uncovers very interesting design decisions like the copying of
mutexes and condition vars depending on recursive locks that were
previously hidden by shady c function calls..
We have perfectly good c++11 versions for all of that.
While we're at it, also use the initialization list for the other (still
copy constructable) vectors, which cleans up the radio interfaces.

It does not make sense for the MS to use 11-bit Access Bursts on
PTCCH/U because the payload does not matter, only the ToA does.

This is only useful if the rf path delays the signal by at least one
frame, and therefore a fairly experimental command that might be removed
or reworked in the future and should not be relied upon.

In Transceiver::addRadioVector() we scale the I/Q samples by scaling
the output voltage of the DAC. A relative factor/divisor/ration in
the voltage domain cannot be used 1:1 in the power domain.
There exist two similar formulas:
a) X_dB = 10 * log10(X_lin / X_ref)
b) Y_db = 20 * log10(Y_lin / Y_ref)
both of them are correct, and according to [1]:
a) If you convert a quantity X that relates to power or energy,
=> the factor is 10.
b) If you convert a quantity Y that relates to amplitude,
=> the factor is 20.
Therefore we should be using 20 instead of 10. This change makes
osmo-trx apply per-lchan attenuation values correctly. Otherwise
it would double the values indicated in TRXD messages.

Coverity warns us that a non-static class members:
- mRxLowerLoopThread, and
- mTxLowerLoopThread,
are not initialized in this constructor nor in any functions that
it calls. I don't think it's critical, because we do initialize
them in Transceiver::start(), but let's make them nullptr.

Prior to this patch, osmo-trx relied totally on proper VTY configuration
being set in "rssi-offset" together with the RxGain set through TRXC in
order to provide correct Uplink RSSI measurements to bts-trx.
With this patch, RSSI is now by default calculated (in LMS and UHD
backends) based on the currently set RxGain, by providing empirically
discovered values. Still, for backward compatibility, the old
"rssi-offset" command will overwrite completely the per-default
calculated rssi offset.
A new optional parameter "relative" is added at the end of the
"rssi-offset" VTY command to flag the value as relative to the newly
per-default calculated value. This way specific setups (like adding a
LNA / RF fronted) can still be expressed while still keeping the
automatic per-default offset.

Using the new libosmovty features allow for:
* Setting different cpu-affinity masks for each thread in the process,
both at startup through .cfg file as well as changing it at runtime.
* Unified VTY interface to change the scheduling policy of the process
inherited by all osmocom processes enabling the feature.

Since there's now a rate counter, we can drop log level for those events
which can be bursty and hence print lots of output in short periods of
time, which may affect performance. This way setting them to INFO it's
enough to avoid getting them in stderr unless explicitly configured by
the user (for instance to debug stuff), while still allowing a good
enough level to be enabled for other targets such as gsmtap.

In pushRadioVector, like we did for driveTxPriorityQueue already, gaps
are possible in any channel for TRX!=0, since TRX0 is the only one
expected to be always transmitting.
Since we always need to transmit there, it makes no sense to check for
channel being not NONE.

The queue was being accessed sequentially obtaining and releasing the
mutual exclusion zone twice. First in getStaleBurst() dropping all
FN<currTime, then in getCurrentBurst() trying to obtain FN=currTime.
However, since in between the mutex is released, it could happen that
for instance upper layer would introduce currTime-1 in the queue, which
would make then getCurrentBurst() detect that one instead of potential
currTime in the queue and return NULL.
By holding the mutex during the call to both functions we make sure the
state is kept during the whole transaction.

This allows checking if there's timing issues on the downlink side
between osmo-bts-trx and osmo-trx. This counter is useful to find
information about osmo-bts-trx 'fn-advance' setting, since this counter
basically counts if burstrs from it arrived too late to osmo-trx.

When the logging category TRXCLK is set to info osmo-trx prints a
logline that informs about the sending of clock indications. In practice
this those log lines are often used to identify that osmo-trx and
osmo-bts are running properly, so it would be helpful, even in
productive use, if there would be an information in the log that the
sending of clock indications has begun. However, the regular printing of
the clock indication log line would soon flood the log. So, lets have an
addional log line that logs only once when the transceiver starts and
quickly informs at loglevel NOTICE that clock indications are now sent.

There is no need to have n threads handle n ctrl sockets, since they all
will immediately respond to commands, so handle them from the existing
main osmo select loop.
Care must be taken to ensure that calls from within the command handler
do not block, or at least don't block too long, which currently is the
case.

We don't want to keep osmo-trx running in a started state once the BTS
controlling it becomes unavailable. If a socket towards the BTS fails,
it means the BTS is gone and the best thing to do is to stop the process
(alternatively we could go back to stopped state instead, and wait for
BTS to re-connect, fur so far this action is good enough).

This code is not needed anymore since we are setting SCHED_RR scheduler
with a real time priority in main thread during startup, so all threads
will inherit same rt priority, which should be enough to keep the
