this fixes a potential access of invalid PHY or MAC metrics by checking
the user entry actually exists.

- fix encoding of TPC command
- use of exponential average with irregular sampling for the ULSNR average estimate.
Turns out using a time-windowed average for the SNR was a bad idea.
If the UL grants are very sporadic, the SNR time window will never have samples
when a TPC is encoded
- update of TPC sched test
- other fixes in accumulators lib
- Use single interface for both DL and UL
- Wrote helper functions for tasks that are common to different algorithms
- created subfolder for all scheduling algorithms
- new stats allow to analyze the average bitrates of each user
- there is a new stat that computes the total of RBs allocated and total bitrate achieved by the scheduler
