This patch aligns the multicarrier (MC) USRP code with
released GSM core changes that accommodate the MC RAD1.
Primary changes are:
1. Runtime setting of number of channelizer paths
2. Matching channelizer path to ARFCN mapping of GSM core
3. Use a single clock update socket on the drive loop
4. Match transceiver data and control socket ports
Setting of channelizer paths (or width) was previously fixed
at compile time. In either case, channelizer width is limited
by the sample rate of the device and channel spacing of the
maximally decimated filterbank. Available settings are 1, 5,
and 10 channels, which accommodate any number of ARFCN's in
between. Also add the frequency offsets to handle the effective
shift in setting RF frequency.
Previous assumption was to place C0 at the center frequency,
but RAD1 assumes C0 at the leftmost carrier, so adjust
accordingly.
The rest is general consolidation to mostly match the RAD1
interaction with GSM core. There is some loss of flexibility to
run, say, multiple independent instances of OpenBTS through a
single bank of channelized transceivers. But, the better
compatibility and reduction in code is the appropriate tradeoff.

Previous approach was to allow stack unwinding to take care
shutdown and thread ending, which was unpredictable and
occasionally segfault. Attempt to shutdown more gracefully.
There are thread cancellation points in the transceiver code
using pthread_testcancel(), but the thread abstraction library
does not allow direct access to the pthread variables. This
prevents thread shutdown through pthread_cancel(). To get
around this, use boolean status values in the receive socket
service loops and main drive loop.
The socket read calls will block indefinitly, so shutdown
may cause the socket implementation to throw a SocketError
exception. Use of timeout values with reads does not seem to
work correctly or reliably, so catch the exception and ignore
if it occurs on shutdown.
The following error may appear as the socket is shutdown while
the Transceiver is blocking on read().
DatagramSocket::read() failed: Bad file descriptor
So be it; the API doesn't allow us to do any more.

The underlying pthread of the Thread object isn't created until
Thread::start(). If the Thread object is contructed, but not
started, then the destructor will fail with a variety of
unpredictable errors such as the following or double free() in
certain cases.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
__GI___libc_free (mem=0x3811abed3e946178) at malloc.c:2972
2972 if (chunk_is_mmapped(p))
If the Thread object is stack allocated, but start() isn't called,
destructor is guaranteed to run and will fail. The previous
approach was to dynamically allocate threads, but not free them,
thus avoiding memory errors, but creating memory leaks.
To get around this limitation, dynamically allocate Thread objects
and initialize with NULL. Then allocate immediately prior to start
such that pthread allocation is tied to the Thread object
constructor. Deallocation can check that the Thread pointer is
valid through NULL or other tracking methods.

At one point an attach() call was used to connect
multiple transceivers to the radio interface. The
current approach is to pass the radio interface to
the transceiver instances through the constructor.
Remove the unused and deprecated call.

The radio interface needs to feed the device I/O buffers
synchronously in order to drive the channelizer. Asynchronous
channel access occurs opposite the radio interface through
a bank of thread-safe FIFO's or priority queue's on receive
and transmit sides respectively.
Setup 'M' channels and allow only a subset to be active at a
given time. When a channel is unused, there is no need to
feed the particular receive FIFO or pull data from the
channel priority queue.

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 transceiver only uses a single integer oversampling value,
which is more simply referred to as samples-per-symbol.

Periodic timing alignment should never be required for UHD devices,
though the mechanism was used as a fallback mechanism should UHD
not properly recover after an underrun - as may occur in old
003.003.000 based revisions. This issue is not a concern in more
recent UHD releases and deprecates this code for legacy USRP1
use only.

UHD device type was previously detected, but only categorized in
terms of bus type, USB or Ethernet, and sample rate capability.
With the number of supported device increasing, we can no longer
easily group devices since we need to handle more and more
device-specific peculiarities. Some of these factors are managed
internally by the UHD driver, but other factors (e.g. timing
offsets) are specific to a single device.
Start by maintaining an enumerated list of relevant device types
that we can use for applying device specific operations. Also
rename the USB/Ethernet grouping to transmit window type because
that's what it is.
enum uhd_dev_type {
USRP1,
USRP2,
B100,
NUM_USRP_TYPES,
};

With the introduction of the B100, there is USB support
using UHD devices. The characteristics of the trasmit
side burst submissions are more reflective of the bus
type than the device or driver.
Use a fixed latency interval for network devices and the
adaptive underrun approach for USB devices - regardless
of driver or device type.
The GPMC based transport on the E100 appears unaffected
by either latency scheme, which defaults to network.

Move push and pull of buffers into a dedicated file. This will
allow us to swap out resampling, non-resampling, and possibly
floating point device interfaces while presenting a single
floating point abstration in the interface itself.

Remove radio clock and vector interfaces into their own
files. This clears up and simplifies the radio interface
and, additionaly, prepares for a further split of the I/O
portion for optional resampler use.

Commit e161523c (transceiver: simplify transmit power control)
changed transmit gain control to RF setting only. This was
appropriate for a WBX board with 25 dB of gain control, but
inappropriate for an RFX with fixed transmit gain.
RFX boards will regain the ability to set transmit
attenuation. Since gain is set on the RF side first,
reintroducing digital gain settings should have limited
overall effect on non-RFX daughterboards.

UHD will internally accept floats with a range of +/-1.0,
which corresponds to a 16-bit signed integer range of
apporximately +/- 32000. Set the default amplitude to .3,
which is a safe value agaist saturation elsewhere in the
transmit chain.
The non-UHD maximum amplitude is unchanged at 13500.
Remove digital gain control because it's unnecessary and
causes extra load on enbedded systems.
