Note that we still waste at least one perfectly good frame. However,
instead of implementing some fancy arbitration, it's better if we
just make the whole thing bidirectional in the future.
The IEEE 802.15.4 kernel stack doesn't implement ACKs yet and prints
a warning if we request them. Since dirtpan has its own ACKs, we
just disable IEEE 802.15.4 ACKs for now.

The transceiver reset takes quite a while. It seems that also going into
sleep mode has the effect of stopping cw test mode and it's much faster.
This has only been tried on the AT86RF231. For AT86RF230, we therefore
still use the reset.
Performance improvement:
Measurement: atrf-path sweep time in GUI mode, averaging over 10 samples.

atrf_open now requires the string argument for driver selection

atrf-rssi/atrf-rssi.c (main), atrf-trim/atrf-trim.c (main),

When some interrupt(s) happened but the one(s) wait_for_interrupt was
waiting for weren't among them, it printed the list of interrupts
even if they were all in "ignore". This made sequences like RX_START
followed by TRX_END unnecessarily noisy.
Now, wait_for_interrupt only prints the pending interrupts if at
least one of them is not in "ignore".
