Bring AP_GPS_Auto closer to ready for prime-time: 

- disable NMEA autodetection; false positives are still a risk
 - trim down the console output to a minimum; we still need something to help users diagnose potential problems, but the old output was much too verbose
 - rather than block forever, only do one autodetect pass for each ::read call.  That's still too long (five seconds or so) but better than blocking forever.
 - don't block forever if no GPS is attached.
