core/conv: Add some generic code for convolutional coding/decoding
Far from perfect but suits our need thus far.
The viterbi with softbit input is quite cpu-intensive. Since
most received bursts are often mostly error free, you could
use a less cpu intensive algorithm (Fano ?) and with hard bit
input. Then only switch to viterbi soft bit input if the channel
is bad enough to justify it.
Soft output is not implemented as its usefulness for the block
coding is limited.
