frtest: rm gsmfr-hand-test and gsmfr-max-out utils These hack programs were never properly documented and were written only as part of a debug chase, in pursuit of a bug that ultimately turned out to be in our then-hacky patch to osmo-bts-sysmo, before beginning of proper patches in Osmocom. These hack programs need to be dropped from the present sw package because they depend on old libgsm, and we are eliminating that dependency.

/*
 * Unfortunately the code we got from ETSI makes heavy use of two global
 * Boolean flags named Carry and Overflow that function like equally named
 * processor state flags on many CPU architectures.  They are not part
 * of persistent codec session state for either the encoder or the decoder,
 * instead they are "short-term" globals much like UNIX errno.
 *
 * Given this unfortunate reality plus the natural desire to make our
 * EFR library thread-safe (a transcoding MGW handling a large volume of
 * simultaneous calls is exactly the kind of application that would benefit
 * from utilitizing all CPU cores), our current workaround is to use
 * thread-local storage.
