This is a very basic fix, more work is needed.

The problem seems that we reuse HARQ processes too early.
For example, at subframe 0 we allocate PID 0. At subframe 4
we receive an ACK. At subframe 5 we may well reallocate this
PID. It seems category 3 UEs don't like that. They expect
some delay. How much? I don't know. 8 maybe, as for UL.

This commit forces allocation of HARQ PID:
  0 on subframe 1,
  1 on subframe 2,
  2 on subframe 3,
  3 on subframe 4,
  4 on subframe 6,
  5 on subframe 7,
  6 on subframe 8,
  7 on subframe 9.

We don't use subframes 0 and 5 (for initial transmission at
least). (Current develop branch doesn't either I think.)

This is not a good solution, just a quick and dirty one. With this
commit I can achieve 12Mbps with iperf UDP on a 5MHz band 7 carrier
with a cat3 UE. And more than 11Mbps with iperf TCP. And a bad
radio link.

We may want to implement some sort of free-list and take the
oldest PID in there, if it is older than let's say 8 subframes
(that is: the last transmission with this pid was done more
than 8 subframes ealier). We may well have no free PID if a
lot of retransmissions are done.
