A simplified beam switching simulation for rfsimulator. This works
mainly in 1 gNB - N UEs scenarios. This is not a real beamformer with
antenna, channel and propagation model. The way it works is that the
peers inform each other about the beams they transmit in, and on
reception before channel modelling, the beam data is combined based on
preconfigured rx_beam/tx_beam gain matrix.

Usage:
 - Add --rfsimulator.enable_beams to enable beam simulation
 - Add --rfsimulator.beam_gains <comma separated Toepliz form matrix of gains in dB>.

   Example list: 0,-5,-10

   Resulting matrix:

   [[0, -5, -10]
    [-5, 0, -5]]
    [-10, -5, 0]]

 - Add --telnetsrv if you want to control the beams manually. The command in telnet
   is "rfsimu setbeam <beam_map>", where beam_map is a uint64_t controling the
   reception beam and transmission beam. If the application is switching the beams
   automatically the beams will be overwritten as soon as the application chooses to
   switch beams.

This function is to be called by the application to switch beams
on reception and transmission. When receiving new samples using
trx_read/trx_write the application is expected to be able to
determine which beam the samples belong to.

Add symbol timing functions for NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS + optimization for slot timing
counterparts

Add two new functions for calculation symbol timestamp and symbol duration for
NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS. Also includes an optimization focused on removing
inefficiencies related slot-related counterparts.

For 15kHz SCS, symbols with index 0 and 7 have longer cyclic prefix.
This is now fixed in frame parms struct.

1. Removed function pointers for functions get_samples_per_slot(),
   get_samples_slot_timestamp() and get_slot_from_timestamp() as it does
   not offer any advantage. The functions are now called directly from
   everywhere.
2. Optimized these functions by removing loops where ever possible.

Fix for computation of PRACH occasions and association period

Update documenation for handover

Update documentation for handover to include the changes that were made after
upgrading the CI handover setup (attenuator, USRPs synchronization)

doc: Update doc for IF setup

Update IF setup doc, clarify how to set if_freq with large value in the gNB
configuration file. Per the libconfig manual, 64-bit integers are represented
like regular integers but require an appended "L"
(https://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig_manual.html#g_t64_002dbit-Integer-Values).

Update documenation for F1 handover to include the changes that were made after upgarding the CI handover setup (attenuator, USRPs synchronization)

NR UE: calculate TA based on SIB19 information in NTN mode, if autonomous TA is not enabled

To achieve the goal, the hyper frame number (HFN) is introduced at the NR UE
PHY, MAC and RRC layers.

Besides this, we also implemented an orbit propagation to improve the accuracy
of N_UE_TA_adj, and a fix to keep the N_TA from RAR and MAC CE.

Add two new functions for calculation symbol timestamp and symbol
duration for NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS. These functions are not using
the existing indirection mechanism via function pointers as this
prevents the compiler from properly optimizing the code.

Fixes for BWP switching

This MR fixes some issues when performing BWP switching via
reconfiguration. It also adds a CI test for BWP switching.  # Please
enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary,

In all cases (CFRA in SA for HO, or CFRA in NSA/do-ra for access), the
UE has the full configuration already. We can therefore directly switch
to a dedicated search space, as it is already known to the UE.

Trigger various BWP switches through telnet, and test traffic after each
switch.

... so if we want to have 1 BWP configured at any given time we need to
reconfigure BWP 1 every time. This means that since the gNB has more
than 1 BWPs (for use for different UEs), that there is a "gNB BWP ID"
(as used by the gNB), which can be any BWP ID X, and one "UE BWP ID",
which is always 1. This commit implements this distinction.

Return from triggering reconfiguration with BWP switch if BWP is the
same as before the switch, and add check to verify if BWP triggered by
switch command exists
