Thanks a lot for the flowers!

Note that this release only added NR support to the UE, specifically NSA
support. So the "stack" will still be EUTRA/LTE and the NR carrier
auxiliary.

But yes, the NSA support also works over ZMQ. But only with third-party
eNB/gNBs as srsENB does not yet have NSA support. It will be added in
the next release though.

This changes the "stack" to NR, which is meant for SA. This will come in
2022. So the parameter isn't used right now.

Thanks
Andre
