[Patch-gnuradio] GRC examples in gr-digital

[Martin Braun (CEL)]

Hi,

I wanted to use the GRC examples in gr-digital in class recently--turns
out they're all broken :(

Here's three patches:

- The first changes ber_simu.grc to use Eb/N0 instead of the noise
  amplitude, which I find very unintuitive. You can now look up the
  theoretical BER for a given Eb/N0 and, after the BER average is done,
  you will see the textbook value. Also it uses more constellation
  object properties.
- The second actually fixes a bug in the GRC bindings, which made the
  DPSK modulators unusable in GRC.
- The final patch fixes the other GRC files (none of which would run).
  In most cases, the files were probably just copied when stuff moved to
  gr-digital, and API changes were not reflected.

The patches seem bigger than they are; that's because I also moved the
blocks around. I guess this could count as 'gratuitious white space
changes', but considering they didn't work before, I hope that's OK.

On a sidenote, it would be great if we had unit tests for GRC files
(both .grc and .xml block bindings). Won't promise to write them myself,
though, just saying :)
