trxcon/scheduler: prioritize FACCH correctly

Previously we used to compare two consecutive first primitives,
taken from a transmit queue. This approach may cause some delay,
which is critical for FACCH e.g. in case of handover.

Let's walk through a whole transmit queue to find a pair of
both FACCH frames, and only then decide what to do.
