The auto-silencer supports two modes: "thresholded" to fill up "just
enough", and "top-up" to fill up "as much as possible". The two modes
used rather distinct code paths, which this patch unifies. The only
remaining distinction is how much we actually want to fill.

This fixes a bug in thresholded mode, where we failed to use new_hw_ptr,
resulting in under-fill.

Top-up mode is now more well-behaved and much easier to understand in
corner cases.

This also updates comments in the proximity of silencing-related data
structures.
