Transceiver52M: Separate main transmit and receive drive threads
This patch primarily addresses observed repeated overrun
conditions in embedded environments - namely ARM.
The heartbeat of the transceiver is derived from the receive
sample stream, which drives the main GSM clock. Detach the
transmit thread from the receive loop to avoid interfering with
the receive I/O, which is sensitive to overrun conditions if
pull process is interrupted.
