One read cannot see the fault this suite is most useful for. A block that comes
back silently wrong on some reads and right on others scores the same as one
that is simply wrong, and the same as one that is fine. Read each block three
times and mark disagreement between them as `unstable`.
Where a block is wrong the same way every time, name it: `rol1`, `ror5`,
`inverted`, `inv+ror2`, `shr1`. The kind matters. A rotation says the word
boundary moved, an inversion says psk picked the opposite phase, and a shift
says a demodulation opened a bit early and padded with zero - three different
faults that want three different fixes, and all of them previously reported as
"block 3,4 bad".
Measured on a T5577 over the 21 PSK1 configurations, this turns 56 fields of
"bad" into 56 marked unstable, and on a build that has since fixed part of it,
into 24 rotations whose size tracks the bit rate - ror5 at RF/32, ror4 at RF/40,
ror2 at RF/100 - which is a fixed sample offset rather than noise, and says
where to look.
Block 1 is 00000000, which equals all of its own rotations, so a rotated read of
it cannot be told from a correct one. Noted in the header rather than changed,
since the payload is the suite's own choice.
Also corrects the header, which described block 2 as ffffffff where the script
writes aa5500ff.
