This commit adds the function rtlsdr_set_direct_sampling()
which can be used to enable/disable a mode where the
RTL2832 acts as a direct sampling receiver.
This mode disables the tuner, and by attaching a long
wire, or better, a 50Ω to 200Ω transformer and a lowpass-
filter to the In-phase ADC input (pin 1 or 2 of the RTL2832,
whereas pin 1 is at the molded dot) it is possible to listen to
shortwave radio stations. The coupling capacitors can be
left in place, but for better results they should be removed.
Tuning in this mode is done with the DDC, and since the
ADC samples with 28.8 MHz, tuning is possible from 0 to
28.8 MHz.

This could lead to a misdetection of the tuner on some
platforms (E4K instead of FC0013 on the raspberry pi).
Thanks to Christoph Gommel for reporting this issue.

This adds rtlsdr_set_agc_mode() to enable/disable it.
Thanks to Leif Asbrink for finding this setting.

The driver was taken from http://git.linuxtv.org/ and adapted
for librtlsdr. Manual gain will be added in a follow-up commit.

Incorporate support for the PROlectrix DV107669 which appears to
be another variant of G-Tek RTL2832U device. This has a FC0012
tuner.

This tool allows to check for lost samples (and thus check the USB
connection), as well as benchmark the Elonics E4000 tunable range.

pow() might require the math library to be linked with
rtl-sdl (e.g. when compiling with clang), even though
it's actually constant.

Usually both, the RTL and the tuner ICs use the same clock. Changing the
clock may make sense if you are applying an external clock to the tuner
or to compensate the frequency (and samplerate) error caused by the
original cheap crystal.
This commit covers all tuner drivers except of the Fitipower FC2580
