- if search fails, keeps increasing the rx gain (set by --ue-rxgain) by
3 db until USRP max rx gain
- if initial sync is success, sets the rxgain to the value of
(TARGET_RX_POWER (50) - pbch digital power in dB/RE)
making aerial shm prefix configurable (so we can use muliptle VNFs per PNF)
making the nvipc thread affinity configurable and using threadCreate.

The actual propagation delay should not be smaller than the one specified.
A too short propagation delay might result in too early reception of Msg1, and with that in a mis-detection of the RAPID.
xran's xran_bm_init() uses rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() to allocate DPDK
buffers. For a 1x1 configuration, the number of buffers might be too
small, and rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() might fail. This commit ensures
that we increase the number of buffers to have enough even in a 1x1
configuration. This works by chosing the next power of two, which is
recommended as per DPDK documentation.
Closes-Bug: #750
Add the option `--rfsimulator.prop_delay` to specify the simulated receive-path (gNB: UL, UE: DL) propagation delay in ms.
This option can be used e.g. to simulate a simple GEO satellite channel by specifying `--rfsimulator.prop_delay 238.74` to both, the gNB and the UE.
This is part of the work developed by Fraunhofer IIS within the ESA-funded project 5G-GOA (https://connectivity.esa.int/projects/5ggoa).
Reset all the circular buffer to zero; this ensures that we cannot read
uninitialized data. Since this is RFsimulator, performance is not a
problem here either (and zeroing out happens only once).
Add an API to allow out-of-order writes to a radio interface, unlike the
current interface.
this function is called in UE in this commit, even if the tx might
still be in order.
Later, i plan to improve UE pulti-threading, that will lead to out of
order tx. also, the gNB will benefit of this new function to replace
several specific pieces of code that reorder tx with over complex and
slow systems
Use the correct function in order to close open RFsim connections,
instead of a simple close(). If this is not done correctly, it might
happen that the softmodem closes, but an L1 thread might still read
samples (bug in higher layers). Then, RFsim tries to read a socket
(because it has an open connection), but the actual connection had been
close()d. This commit fixes this behavior.

- removed unused RFSIM struct members
Disable DPDK telemetry to skip creation of one/two threads (depending on
DPDK version). To force users to do this, bump the version of the patch
checked by cmake.

Force the CPU affinity for ru_thread explicitly to ru_thread_core. It is
already done via threadCreate(), but force again as per change request.
Delete commented 7.2 code that did the equivalent. We cannot set it in
the driver, as we don't have access to variable ru->ru_thread_core.

system_core is the core reserved for DPDK control threads. It was
hardcoded to 0, but it seems that one some systems, CPU 0 cannot be
reasonably isolated from kernel threads. Make it therefore configurable
(default: 0)
