tty: n_gsm: fix software flow control handling

n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.4.8.1 states that XON/XOFF characters
shall be used instead of Fcon/Fcoff command in advanced option mode to
handle flow control. Chapter 5.4.8.2 describes how XON/XOFF characters
shall be handled. Basic option mode only used Fcon/Fcoff commands and no
XON/XOFF characters. These are treated as data bytes here.
The current implementation uses the gsm_mux field 'constipated' to handle
flow control from the remote peer and the gsm_dlci field 'constipated' to
handle flow control from each DLCI. The later is unrelated to this patch.
The gsm_mux field is correctly set for Fcon/Fcoff commands in
gsm_control_message(). However, the same is not true for XON/XOFF
characters in gsm1_receive().
Disable software flow control handling in the tty to allow explicit
handling by n_gsm.
Add the missing handling in advanced option mode for gsm_mux in
gsm1_receive() to comply with the standard.

This patch depends on the following commit:
