The commit provides a basic implementation of support for LimeSDR USB
receivers based on LMS7002 chip. The solution has several limitations:
- passing parameters for tune LimeSDR receiver via command-line
options is not implemented;
- only hardcoded configuration is used (channel 0 of lower band LNA,
LMS_FMT_I16 format, gain, bandwidth and timeout);
- only one device is supported and it is not possible to select a
desired one in case if several devices are connected to the host.
Test: compare the output of the program for RTL and LimeSDR receivers.
Environment:
- RTL2832SDR dongle;
- LMS7002M based USB LimeSDR board;
- 800MHz-2200MHz omnidirectional antenna with SMA connector.
Procedure:
- connect RTL dongle to the host and start the program with the
following parameters:
$ ./dump1090 --device-type rtlsdr --interactive
- wait until several planes will be detected;
- stop the program, connect the LimeSDR board to the host and restart
the program with the following parameters:
$ ./dump1090 --device-type limesdr --interactive
- ensure that the same planes are detected.
Acceptance criteria: the same planes are detected using both receivers
and track information matches with information from the
FlightRadar24 application.

nb: messages with a correctable 2-bit error are only forwarded to network
clients that have enabled verbatim mode (and they will be forwarded with
the 2-bit error still present, so the downstream client must apply its own
correction if desired)
Reattach the licenses for the compat stuff to the source.
Only build/link the compat stuff when it's needed.
Rename compat/util.h so it's not confused with util.h.
Move all the platform specific defines inside compat/compat.h.
This gives access to the existing throttling behaviour when reading
from a file with --interactive, without needing to actually have
--interactive.
This is useful when testing, as without --throttle samples will be
processsed much faster than real-time, which can produce different
results with e.g. aircraft/filter expiry times and position/speed checks.
This currently understands:
UC8 (original rtl_sdr format, 8-bit unsigned complex);
SC16 (16-bit signed complex, full width);
SC16Q11 (bladeRF native format: 16-bit signed complex with 11 bits of magnitude)
Magnitude conversion now happens immediately when sample data is
received, so there is no risk of newly received data clobbering old
data under CPU overload.
