mac: Phase 4 - cap MU-MIMO group size to active TX antenna count

Browse Source 
Reads mac->antenna_state to count active TX ports via
__builtin_popcount(nr_get_tx_antenna_bitmask). Caps the partner-search
while-loop bound to (active_tx - 1), so:
  active_tx = 4 -> up to 4-way MU-MIMO  (3 partners)
  active_tx = 3 -> up to 3-way          (2 partners)
  active_tx = 2 -> up to 2-way          (1 partner)
  active_tx = 1 -> SU-MIMO only         (0 partners)

This couples antenna muting (the existing PHY-side socket control on
port 9999) to spatial parallelism in the MU-MIMO scheduler. Muting a
chain reduces the codebook's orthogonal codeword count, which is the
right semantic for our antenna-muting research: muting reduces the
number of UEs co-scheduled per slot, not the per-UE rate.

Verified runtime behavior on rfsim (30s windows per state):
  TX mask 0x0F:  4-way 952  3-way 484  2-way 333  (full 4-TX)
  TX mask 0x03:  4-way   2  3-way   8  2-way 5935 (2-TX -> 2-way)
  TX mask 0x01:  4-way   0  3-way   0  2-way   11 (1-TX -> SU-MIMO)

Antenna-control commands tested via existing test interface:
  echo "SET TX MASK 0x03" | nc -w 2 localhost 9999
