Transceiver52M: Add 4 samples-per-symbol Laurent pulse shape
When 4 samples-per-symbol operation is selected, replace the
existing pulse approximation, which becomes inaccurate with
non-unit oversampling, with the primary pulse, C0, from the
Laurent linear pulse approximation.
Pierre Laurent, "Exact and Approximate Construction of Digital Phase
Modulations by Superposition of Amplitude Modulated Pulses", IEEE
Transactions of Communications, Vol. 34, No. 2, Feb 1986.
Octave pulse generation code for the first three pulses of the
linear approximation are included.
