osmo-bts-trx/scheduler: distinguish synch. sequence of RACH bursts

WIP/TODO: add detailed description here (please read the code).

At least it makes both TC_rach_content and TC_rach_count TTCN-3
test cases pass again. There were some collisions between the
extended (11-bit) RACH bursts and the regular ones, since we
used to call gsm0503_rach_ext_decode_ber() first, regardless
of the burst type...

To be 100% sure, we need a similar TTCN-3 test case for the
extended (11-bit) RACH. This would require to do some little
changes in both trxcon and the L1CTL protocol.
