The "basic_rate" module option is not implemented correctly. If the
rate was set to zero it was supposed to set it to "basic_rate | 0x80".
Unfortunately the check to see if what zero was wrong and it checked
"!ai->config.rates" (which is always false) instead of
"!ai->config.rates[i]".
This option was just used for development and it wasn't documented
anywhere. Instead of fixing it, we can just remove it.

V2: Version 1 was just a cleanup to please the static checkers but
didn't fix anything. Stanislaw suggests that we can remove the feature
entirely so that's what I've done in version 2.
