I think I solved a bug in gri_iir.h

Hi all,
I think I solved a bug in gri_iir.h
I think the index numbers are wrong when you decrement the latest_n and
latest_m after you set prev_output and prev_input.
I created a simple standalone program to test the index numbers.
The patch and the test program are at:
http://www.olifantasia.com/pub/projects/gnuradio/mdvh/mypatches/gri_iir/

Because these things are tricky to understand I would appreciate some
feedback if the algorithm is correct now.
If it is, let me know and I can apply the patch.

I think gri_iir is only used in gr_iir_filter_ffd which is only used in
the emphasis filter of the wfm modulator.
And there it isn’t even used properly because the filter taps are not
set.

Greetings,
Martin
