The lirc TX functionality expects the process which writes (TX) data to
the lirc dev to sleep until the actual data has been transmitted by the
hardware.
Since the same timeout calculation is duplicated in more than one driver
(and would have to be duplicated in even more drivers as they gain TX
support), it makes sense to move this timeout calculation to the lirc
layer instead.
At the same time, centralize some of the sanity checks.

This patch just removes the second assignment "rc->priv = &loopdev;"
that happens a fews lines after the first one.

Durations can never be negative, so it makes sense to consistently use
unsigned int for LIRC transmission. Contrary to the initial impression,
this shouldn't actually change the userspace API.

If an IR command is sent (using the LIRC userspace) to rc-loopback
which doesn't include a trailing space, the result is that the message
won't be completely decoded. In addition, "leftovers" from a previous
transmission can be left until the next one. Fix this by faking a long
silence after the end of TX data.

This patch adds a loopback driver to rc-core which I've found useful for
running scripted tests of different parts of rc-core without having to
fiddle with real hardware.
Basically it emulates hardware with a learning and a non-learning
receiver and two transmitters (which correspond to the two
receivers). TX data that is sent is fed back as input on the
corresponding receiver, which allows for debugging of IR decoders,
keymaps, etc.
