At least one distributor of rtl-sdr dongles (rtl-sdr.com) added
a bias-t to their dongles which could be toggled via GPIO P0 of the
RTL2832U chip.

This improves SDR performence for nearby channel interference.
As a sideeffect also improves dynamic range becase ADC is not overloaded
by onwanted singlas.

In contradiction with the documentation, e4k_reg_write() was
returning the value 2 upon success (the number of bytes written),
not zero as documented.
Patched to return zero upon success.
As a consequence, this corrects also the return value of
e4k_reg_set_mask() and e4k_dc_offset_calibrate().
So far we had 32 * 256KB which was a bit overkill,
15 are more than enough.
15 was chosen instead of 16 because at least on Linux
there seems to be a system-wide limit of 63 transfers
(when they are 256KB large), so 4 dongles can be used
on a single machine without lowering the default transfer
number.

Otherwise the new transfer status does not propagate
into the xfer->status and we try to cancel all transfers
twice.
Also replace the ifdefs with a single macro for backwards
compatibility.

after the latest sublib changes we got:
src/Makefile.am:31: compiling `convenience/convenience.c' in
subdir requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.ac'

libusb < 1.0.9 doesn't have libusb_handle_events_timeout_completed(),
but libusb <= 1.0.8 doesn't have version.h, so we need to check
for the function.
The cmake-code was borrowed from UHD, which also checks
for libusb_error_name(), we add that as well since it might come
handy later on.

Now we're using libusb_handle_events_timeout_completed()
instead of the deprecated libusb_handle_events_timeout(),
and notify our async state machine when rtlsdr_cancel_async()
is called. This speeds up exiting from any program that uses the
device asynchronously.

Thanks to Joris van Rantwijk for finding what seems to be
a hardware limitation/bug (bit 28 of the rsamp register being
forced to the value of bit 27).
