digital/packet_utils: adding parameter to take a user input preamble to the packet encoder
Digital/pkt: adding ability to dynamically change preamble for pky.py
filter: fixed frequency translating filter.

Thanks to Achilleas Anastasopoulos for pointing it out and providing the basic patch. Updated QA code here, too, for the changes. Now QA calculates the results from basic principles instead of using a 'gold' set of results.

volk: allow AVX to compile using any compiler accepting xgetbv
runtime: make sure all message only blocks always get a thread context (not just message recievers), otherwise no thread context is created and start() is never called
runtime: expose message_subscribers() interface to python blocks
volk: fix for cross-compiling with non-standard toolchains
gr_modtool: install a howtoConfig.cmake when creating new out of tree modules, this will allow other cmake modules to be able to easily find and link against it in a clean way

runtime: fix disconnecting a msg port on a hier_block2

It seems that when you call msg_connect, the call to message_port_sub
is not made until the flowgraph has been flattened, so the
subscription does not belong to the hier block, it belongs to the
block inside the hier block that has the message output. However, when
you call msg_disconnect, it simply attempts to call message_port_unsub
on on the hier block, which fails, as the hier block has no
subscriptions."

The fix simply checks if the source or destination blocks are
hierarchical, and if they are, resolves which block in the
hierarchical block has the message port, then calls message_port_unsub
with that block.
