Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/fixes-ul-sched' into integration_2025_w37 (!3635)

Fixes and updates for UL scheduling, notably DSUUU

Fix a number of problems that stem from !3521, notably regarding Msg3
scheduling, retransmissions in "UL-heavy" TDD scenarios, and BSR
handling. Modify a CI test to run a UL-heavy TDD scenario, and add
documentation for UL-heavy TDD scenarios.

#### UL-heavy TDD patterns
"UL-heavy TDD patterns", i.e., TDD patterns that have many UL slots are
supported. Examples for such patterns would be DSUUU or DDDSUUUUUU.
Note that you should increase the aggregation level candidates as described in
[the corresponding section above](#pdcch-aggregation-level). This is because the
scheduler has to schedule multiple DCIs in a single DL slots for multiple UL
slots. As a suggestion, you could try `uess_agg_levels = [4, 2, 2, 0, 0]`.
