TRXD: rework description of the NOPE / IDLE frame indication

 * Add 'referred to as NOPE.ind', this is how we usueally call it;
 * Change 'IDLE / NOPE' to 'NOPE / IDLE', because:
 ** there can be 'IDLE TDMA frame', but not 'NOPE frame';
 * Avoid using 'high' and 'low' terms for bit values.
 * Introduce and use macros for '0'B and '1'B.

-IDLE / nope frame indication::
-The bit number 7 (MSB) is set to high when either nothing has been detected, so
-the BTS scheduler keeps processing bursts without gaps, or during IDLE frames,
-so the current noise levels can be delivered.  Other bits are ignored, and should
-be set to low (`0`) in this case.  The field "Soft-bits" is omited.
+NOPE / IDLE frame indication (referred to as NOPE.ind)::
+The bit number 7 (MSB) shall be set to {bit-one} by the transceiver when either
+nothing has been detected, so the BTS scheduler keeps processing bursts without
+gaps, or during IDLE frames, so the current noise levels can be delivered.  In
+this case the remaining bits become meaningless and shall be set to {bit-zero}.
+The payload (`Soft-bits` or `Hard-bits`) is omited.
