A framer is a component in charge of an E1/T1 line interface.
Connected usually to a TDM bus, it converts TDM frames to/from E1/T1
frames. It also provides information related to the E1/T1 line.

The framer framework provides a set of APIs for the framer drivers
(framer provider) to create/destroy a framer and APIs for the framer
users (framer consumer) to obtain a reference to the framer, and
use the framer.

This basic implementation provides a framer abstraction for:
 - power on/off the framer
 - get the framer status (line state)
 - be notified on framer status changes
 - get/set the framer configuration
