uhd/host/examples/txrx_loopback_to_file.cpp
Martin Braun 652873b664 examples: Improve txrx_loopback_to_file (late recv, Boost, timing)
- Fixes a bug where the RX stream command set set independent of the
  device time. Now, we read back get_time_now() to calculate the command
  time.
- When using multiple RX USRPs, sync their times. Before, they were left
  untouched, causing possible timing mismatches.
- Increase the initial timeout value. The previous value had only been
  tested with N2x0.
- Replace the boost::thread_group with a std::thread.
- Remove some boost::format where it didn't add value.
