trxcon/trx_if.c: drop Timing Advance range limitation
Despite the correct range of Timing Advance value is [0..63],
there is a special feature in OsmocomBB which allows one to
simulate the distance between both MS and a BTS by playing
with the signal delay.
This is why a signed 'int8_t' type is used in L1CTL protocol.
No need to limit the range, just forward it to TRX.
