a bit difficult to understand: sl_ahead=6 => we systematically miss the
rach detection in the scheduler because the scheduler runs more than 6
slots ahead the rx slot processing (here > 11 slots because 6 (DL and UL
slots) + 4 (RU_RX_SLOT_DEPTH, so UL only))
so, reducing sl_ahead works better than large sl_ahead because the idea
behind is: the scheduler of slot+sl_ahead will never create work to do
in a UL slot before slot+sl_ahead+X (as minimum k2 is X, in the 24PRB CI
test: 6)
Since the parent commit, the ra_ResponseWindow will be chosen
automatically. Correspondingly, remove most ra_ResponseWindow options
from configuration files in the repository.
One problem in some mu=1 configs is that the ra_ResponseWindow=4 (10
slots), which might be overly restrictive if the L1 slot ahead is
somewhat close to 10 (e.g., 6), in which case we might not be always
able to allocate Msg2 in time.
A notable exception here is gnb-vnf.sa.band66.u0.25prb.nfapi.conf, in
which we still provide it (1) since it uses a non-standard configuration
of a ra_ResponseWindow longer than 10ms (see also issue #916 for more
information) and (2) as an example.
* In LTE there is logic that checks the thread configurtion with the
getters `get_thread_parallel_conf()` and `get_thread_worker_conf()`
in NR these getters are not used, only setters, which have no impact
