The timer code used to trigger periodic statistics message sending used
ITTI. Together with a high frequency reporting (e.g. 1ms), this resulted
in high CPU usage. This commit reimplements this:
* using a thread that is synchronized to the RU (if there is no MAC, we
  assume there is no RU generating a tick so we create the tick source
  ourselves)
* no RB trees but plain arrays
* smaller interface for users
* slight user interface changes
* remove stopped timer state: such timer might be simply removed
* remove one-shot timers

* only set up timer for sending requests
* simplify interface for timer setup
* on timer expiry, do not pass through stats request function but
  directly send the reply
* Remove whatever report structure and use stats request directly for
  inferring the data to send

Fix cqi_req clear timing, and schedule PUSCH when CQI has not been received for a long time in fairRR scheduler.

In TDD mode, CQI requests are not possible in special subframes (at
least for some TDD configurations, see 36.213 7.2.3 that says "a
DL subframe is valid if it does not contain a DwPTS field if the
length is less than  7680 Ts").

In the code, we simply disable CQI requests in special subframes,
no matter what the length of DwPTS.

A problem can arise if the DCI0 for a given UE are sent only in
those special subframes. In this case the UE will never report
CQI and the eNB will use low MCS for this UE, impacting performances.

Another, related, problem is when there are several UEs. There again
one UE might always get its DCI0 in special subframes and thus never
report CQI. There again, performance issues.

This commit is an attempt to improve the situation.

It does two things.

1 - tag the UE as schedulable in the function UE_is_to_be_scheduled
    if the cqi_req_timer is expired

2 - use cqi_req_timer as a criterium when ordering UEs for UL scheduling

The value chosen for the expiration of the cqi_req_timer in
UE_is_to_be_scheduled is quite high (300) because as the code is
today we may overschedule the UE for short bursts until we receive
a CQI from the UE. [TODO: fix the code properly to avoid this behavior.]

Note: the fairRR scheduler has not been analyzed and this commit may
      not fix anything in case the fairRR scheduler is used.
