- NeighbourCell and Measurement Configurations are prepared.

NeighbourCell Configuration includes:
	- neighbour_gNB_ID (This is needed for AMF to identify gNB exists in it's context
	- neighbour_nr_cell_id (This is needed for target gNB)
	- neighbour_physical_cellId (This is needed for UE in the meas report)
	- neighbour_absoluteFrequencySSB (This is needed for UE in meas report)
	- neighbour_subcarrierSpacing (This is needed for UE in meas report)
	- neighbour_mnc (This is needed for AMF)
	- neighbour_mcc (This is needed for AMF)
	- neighbour_mnc_length (This is needed for AMF)
	- neighbour_tracking_area_code (This is needed for AMF)

NR Measurement Event Configuration Includes:
	- enableA2 & enableA3 (gNB activates the event reporting according to these vars)
	- thresholdA2 & A2_TTT (configurable reporting parameters)
	- thresholdA3 & A3_Hysteresis & A3_TTT (configurable reporting parameters)

- These parameters are read in the configuration parsing part and written under RRC structure
- Event Based Measurement Configuration is prepared according to enableA3 parameter.
- Measurement Configuration of UE is cloned under UE Context. When a measurement report comes,
looping through the UE's meas config and matching the measIDs. With this measID, report configs
extracted and processing in different ways.

CUuniqInstance is also used for GTP module identification, which
uses the UDP server socket as its ID. This leads to arbitrary IDs (>0),
which is wrong.

Correctly show the path: it was missing cmake_targets/, although it is
there.

Not periodically checking stats freeing can lead to asserts if these
lists are full. Check it once a frame to ensure that lists remain
non-empty.

	- Phy configuration will be prepared by MAC
	- Sidelink preconfiguration parameters passed from RRC->MAC
	- Only 1 SSB TA allocation used
	- psbch payload prepared by MAC after receiving the tx slss req

PUSCH decoding is started multiple times in nr_ulsch_procedures() for
each ULSCH segment, and stopped once inside
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX(). Not only is it not clear if that works
with the API, it also might measure more than just PUSCH decoding.

Remove the PUSCH decoding, it is misleading. Check L1 RX processing
instead.

The CI would only detect a deviation from the normalized value based on
a configurable threshold, typically 1.25 (so we would tolerate a 25%
increase). However, it often happens that a timing gets shorter (e.g.,
forgot to put the timing measurements). This commit introduces a
"Deviation Threshold" (smaller than 1) to not only check that we exceed
1.0 + "Deviation Threshold" (as before), but also that are not below 1.0
- "Deviation Threshold".

In other words, assuming a maximum divergence of 25%, instead of just
checking if val > 1.25, we now also check if val < 0.75 (and flag
error).

This commit introduces a separate thread (l1_tx_thread) that processes
gNB DL/TX slots. It receives a message from the ru_thread when a new
slot started, and starts processing.

The DL part of the scheduler is run in the l1_tx_thread.  Therefore,
only call UL indication (for scheduler) in UL slots.  The UL indication
previously triggered the DL scheduler -- hence, it had to be called in
every slot. Now, since the DL scheduler is moved into the DL thread, we
don't have to call the scheduler in every slot anymore.

The reorder thread is removed, as reordering with this scheme is not
necessary anymore.

The main advantage of this version is that the TX can be scheduled
earlier (sl_ahead). Further, there can no longer be race conditions in
the TX path, since the scheduler/L2, TX L1 processing and the RU tx
function are all execute in the same thread (L1_tX_thread).

Also, the scheduler prepares PRACH/PUSCH/PUCCH FAPI PDUs. As of this
commit, the scheduler runs in the TX processing chain, whereas these
PDUs are destined for RX processing.  Thus, too avoid data races,
instead of triggering the RX processing at the same time as TX
processing in the RU thread, this commit changes the code to trigger RX
processing after the scheduler has been run in TX processing to avoid
data races.

Finally, we synchronize RU and L1 threads. This is important for
rfsimulator, since unlike most radios, rfsimulator can run slower or
faster, depending on I/O and CPU (it does not have a stable "tick").

The UL_INFO_mutex is used in only one place, and therefore useless.
Also, the scheduler uses a lock internally to prevent concurrent access.
Hence, the UL_INFO_mutex is not needed.

Remove kill_gNB_proc(), as it is now dead code.

The next commit introduces a separate gNB TX processing thread. To
properly separate DL scheduler (for scheduling decisions) from UL
indication handling (for UL packets), this commit introduces a slot
indication "tick" to run the DL scheduler which will be put into the gNB
TX processing chain instead of the UL indication.

For different reasons, the frame/slot numbers might jump (e.g., gNB and
RU machines not properly synced). The scheduler would assert for PUCCH
allocations. Handle this gracefully by printing an error message, and
resetting the PUCCH structure.

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.
