Original issue: In order to use SSE instructions, 16-byte aligned memory
chunks are needed, and C++ version < C++11 doesn't provide for a native
new/delete store. For that reason, memalign() must be used in the
implementation of convolve_h_alloc() for some buffers.
On the other side, The C++ code relies on C++ "new T[]" operator to
allocate a chunk of memory containing an array of class instances. As
classes are complex types, they cannot be allocated through C structures
(calling malloc). Experimentally can be seen too that it's unreliable
and the process will crash during startup if malloc() is used and then a
Complex<> deferred from it.
Previous implementation allowed for use of convolve_h_alloc or new[]
based on how the (signal)Vector is called, because then the buffer is
not going to be managed internally. But that's unreliable since resize()
calling resize() on it could use "delete" operator on a malloc'ed
buffer, and end up having a new new[] allocated buffer. It was also
found that some of the callers were actually leaking memory through ASan (because the
buffer is not managed by the Vector instance).
IMHO best option would be to rewrite all this code using C structures
and malloc/free exclusively, since it would make all this cod eeasier to
maintain.
But for now, let's extend the Vector class to allow specifying an
external alloc/free function and let the Vector instance take care of
the ownership of the buffer in all scenarios.

Two buffers, inner and outer, are used in the transceiver
implementation. The outer buffer interfaces with the device receive
interface to guarantee timestamp aligned and contiguously allocated
sample buffers. The inner buffer absorbs vector size differences between
GSM bursts (156 or 157 samples) and the resampler interface (typically
fixed multiples of 65).
Reimplement the inner buffer with a ring buffer that allows fixed size
segments on the outer (resampler) portion and variable lengths (GSM
side) on the inner side. Compared to the previous stack-like version,
this implementation removes unnecessary copying of buffer contents.

Mainly basic signed vs unsigned comparisons and intializer ordering.

Break out the signalVector object and clean up the interface in the
process.
