Command option change: -b is no longer recognized

Note well: -b option is removed and will cause an error.

20231216-0

Removed recording buffer thread. This will simplify the audio output operation. Also, lowered the output level of AM/CW/USB/LSB/WSPR decoder to prevent audio clipping, and changed the IF AGC constants for longer transition timing.

What's Changed

• Remove output audio thread by @jj1bdx in #46
• AM Decoder AGC fix by @jj1bdx in #50

20231215-0

What's Changed

• Fix link to libvolk install page by @argilo in #44
• Remove NaNs and process hanging by @jj1bdx in #45

Changes in details

• 20231215-0: Fix the following known bugs and refactor the code to streamline the functioning:
  • Bug: a hung process during the startup period before valid audio signals are coming out
  • Bug: displaying -nan in the output level meter in broadcast FM and NBFM
    • The NaN is presumably generated by volk_32fc_s32f_atan2_32f() in PhaseDiscriminator::process()
    • This NaN issue was presumably the root cause of the multipath filter anomaly first fixed in 20231213-1
  • Enhancement: streamlining processing flow in the main for loop of main()
  • Enhancement: removing the initial waiting period for startup; the output is now activated from the block number 1
  • Utility addition: adding Utility::remove_nans(), a function to check and substitute NaNs and infinity values in IQSamplesDecodedVector

20231213-1

This is a bugfix release to solve the output problem on 20231213-0.
The reason is described in #42 (comment)
duplicated in this release note as follows:

The calculation failure was caused by one or more NaNs being in the PhaseDiscriminator calculation result. The result propagated in the later stages to prevent normal output. The multipath filter was working even if the NaNs were output because the reason for NaN was presumably the 0+0j output value of the multipath filter. The 0+0j output will not happen in the real-world input, although there's no guarantee that it will not happen. So, I decided to reset the multipath filter calculation if 0+0j output is found in the calculation result. This filter reset hack presumably solved the root cause.
See https://github.com/jj1bdx/airspy-fmradion/blob/c6ca61c600dc48f0e0af2322c61fe6ab16e25c3b/sfmbase/MultipathFilter.cpp#L172-L177 for the fixed code.
