Transceiver52M: Rename samples-per-symbol variable names

Because repeatedly typing mSamplesPerSymbol is giving me
carpal tunnel syndrome. Replace with the much shorter,
easier to type, and just as clear name of 'sps'.

Transceiver52M: Make GSM pulse filter internal to implementation

There is no reason expose the pulse shaping filter outside of the
signal processing calls. The main transceiver object makes no use
of the filter and there's no reason to pass it around.

Initialize the pulse shape with the signal processing library, and
maintain an internal static member like many of the other library
variables. Similarly destroy the object when the library is closed.

Transceiver52M: Add destructors to correlation seqeunce objects

Add destructor calls so we can avoid the nested vector deallocations.
Also remove the unnecessary pointer NULL checks prior to destruction.

Transceiver52M: Remove logging from signal processing core

The only logging outputs in the the signal processing library
are debug lines that generate copious amounts of output while
providing little useful information to the user. The relevant
information (time-of-arrival, channel gains, etc.) can and
should be logged from transceiver instance itself.

Transceiver52M: Generate RACH correlation sequence at initialization

There is no temporal dependency on when the RACH sequence is generated,
so there is no need for transceiver to create it in response to a
command from GSM core. If we power on the transceiver, we will need
the RACH sequence, so just allocate it during initialization.

Transceiver52M: Replace convolve and related calls with SSE implementation

This large patch replaced the convolve() call with an SSE vector
enabled version. The lower C and SSE intrinsic based code operates
on fixed and aligned vectors for the filter taps. The storage format
of interleaved I/Q for both complex and real vectors is maintained.

SSE filter tap values must:

  1. Start 16-byte aligned
  2. Number with a multiple of 4 between 4 and 20 for real taps
  3. Number with a multiple of 4 for complex taps

Non-compliant values will fall back to non-SSE usage. Fixed length
iterators mean that head and tail cases may require reallocation of
the input vector, which is automatically handled by the upper C++
interface.

Other calls are affected by these changes and adjusted or rewritten
accordingly. The underlying algorithms, however, are unchanged.

  generateGSMPulse()
  analyzeTrafficBurst()
  detectRACHBurst()

Intel SSE configuration is automatically detected and configured at
build time with Autoconf macros.

Transceiver52M: Reverse storage of convolution vectors

With convolution changes, we now assume that tap values for
filterting are stored in reverse. Along the same lines,
the tap values used during correlation are no longer stored
in reverse, however, they are still assumed to be conjugated.

Transceiver52M: Add 4 samples-per-symbol Laurent pulse shape

When 4 samples-per-symbol operation is selected, replace the
existing pulse approximation, which becomes inaccurate with
non-unit oversampling, with the primary pulse, C0, from the
Laurent linear pulse approximation.

Pierre Laurent, "Exact and Approximate Construction of Digital Phase
  Modulations by Superposition of Amplitude Modulated Pulses", IEEE
  Transactions of Communications, Vol. 34, No. 2, Feb 1986.

Octave pulse generation code for the first three pulses of the
linear approximation are included.

Transceiver52M: Disable energy detector

The adaptive energy threshold gating suffers a near-far problem
at certain gain levels. This is due to exponential threshold
raising, but linear decreases. A large signal level followed by
a period low signal level causes comparatively weak signals to
go undetected. Additionally, the algorithm performs differently
at multiple RF gain and/or input scaling levels.

This patch switches solely to correlation based gating for burst
detection. The main computational load with this approach is
sub-sample peak interpolation, which we disable during intial
detection.

Transceiver52M: Refactor RACH and TSC detection

Both RACH and normal bursts are detected with the same approach of
midamble correlation combined with peak-to-average ratio. The
difference is the midamble placements and lengths. Thus, there is
no reason to have independent implementations.

This patch creates a common call burstDetect(), while leaving the
correlation window indexing in the original calls.

Transceiver52M: Verify global config sanity at start

The configuration table is instantiated as a global variable with
no means to check constructor status. This means various types
of database failure conditions (e.g. file existence, permissions,
etc.) are not reported. This patch performs a small number of
checks to make sure that the configuration is sane.
