Subject: gr-analog: Add safety and default for FM preemphasis filter

The FM preemphasis filter design now precludes the user from
inducing a pole on the unit circle at z = -1.0 and z = 1.0.
A pole at either of these locations makes the filter unstable and
useless: feeding back "+/-inf" into an IIR filter has no good
recovery.

Also provide a reasonable, maximally safe default of 0.925*fs/2.0
for the high frequency corner, fh.  This keeps the slope of the
preemphasis filter looking reasonable sane in the whole band; at
least for tau=75e-6 and fs=48000.
