AP_GPS: fixed issue with GPS selection for moving baseline

when you have a moving baseline pair of ublox GPS modules and the
rover GPS does not have full fixed RTK lock on the base GPS then we
should not use it as our primary GPS as it's position and velocity can
be badly affected by the attempts of the GPS to gain a fixed lock.

This was observed in a flight with two F9P GPS, where the GPS velocity
data from the rover GPS went way off when it lost full RTK lock. It's
status stayed at 4, so it was selected as the primary GPS

/*
if this is a BASE and the other GPS is a MB rover, then we
should force the use of the BASE GPS if the rover doesn't
have a yaw lock. This is important as when the rover doesn't
have a lock it will often report a higher status than the
base (eg. status=4), but the velocity and position data can
be very bad. As the rover is getting it's base position from
the base GPS then the position and velocity are expected to
be worse than the base GPS unless it has a full moving
baseline lock
