osmo-bts-trx: refactor 'maxdly' / 'maxdlynb' commands

* Move way too verbose command description to the manuals.
* None of these commands apply immediately, correct the attributes.
** Remove meaningless call to l1if_provision_transceiver_trx().
* Make 'maxdlynb' hidden, so it only appears in the expert mode.
* One GMSK symbol actually corresponds to 550m.

+        for signal delay due to distance. So changing this setting effectively changes maximum range
+        of the cell, because Access Bursts with a delay higher than this value will be ignored.

+        USE FOR TESTING ONLY, DO NOT CHANGE IN PRODUCTION USE!
+        During the normal operation, delay of Normal Bursts is controlled by the Timing Advance loop
+        and thus Normal Bursts arrive to a BTS with no more than a couple GSM symbols, which is
+        already taken into account in osmo-trx. Changing this setting will have no effect in
+        production installations except increasing osmo-trx CPU load. This setting is only useful
+        when testing with a transmitter which cannot precisely synchronize to the BTS downlink
+        signal, like R&S CMD57.
