O-RAN 7.2 doc: explain layer mapping, streamline start gNB section

xRAN SRS reception is not supported. The eAxC offsets for DL/UL are determined
from the antenna configuration.
Layer mapping (eAxC offsets) happens as follows:
- For PUSCH/PDSCH, the layers are mapped to `[0,1,...,N-1]` where `N` is the
respective RX/TX number of antennas.
- For PRACH, the layers are mapped to `[No,No+1,...No+N-1]` where No is the
`fhi_72.fh_config.[0].prach_config.eAxC_offset` and `N` the number of receive
antennas.

# Start and Operation of OAI gNB
Run the `nr-softmodem` from the build directory:
```bash
cd ran_build/build
cd ~/openairinterface5g/ran_build/build
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/oran.fh.band78.fr1.273PRB.conf --sa --reorder-thread-disable 1 --thread-pool <list of non isolated cpus>
```
You have to set the thread pool option to non-isolated CPUs, since the thread
pool is used for L1 processing which should not interfere with DPDK threads.
For example if you have two NUMA nodes in your system (for example 18 CPUs per
socket) and odd cores are non-isolated, then you can put the thread-pool on
`1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15`. On the other hand, if you have one NUMA node, you can use
