Niels Joubert a5beef00d1 GPS: Official Swift Binary Protocol GPS Driver v3 for Piksi GPS
DRIVER FEATURES:
- All logic for RTK vs Normal now lives inside Piksi
- Supports observation uplink through telem radio
- Supports full SBP packet logging
- Reports high-rate green blinking to indicate RTK lock.
- Switchable to accept only Float or Integer RTK locks.

THIS REQUIRES PIKSI FIRMWARE v0.14 OR HIGHER
- Uses Piksi's new Pseudo-Absolute-Positioning mode
- Onboard Piksi must have Pseudo-Absolute mode enabled
- Ground Station Piksi must have a surveyed location in settings
- Ground Station Piksi must send its location to Onboard Piksi.

NEXT STEPS REQUIRED:
- EKF needs to take higher accuracy GPS into account
- EKF needs to take GPS RTK height into account
- GCS needs to support sending SBP observation packets

Andrew Tridgell 9781175bf5 AP_GPS: fixed handling of driver destruction
this allows for more complex destructors, and ensures we don't have
multiple backends allocated at once per instance

Andrew Tridgell 368daf89f1 AP_GPS: new GPS API
This is a complete rewrite of the GPS driver structure, with a static
main driver and separate backend drivers. This will allow proper
support for multiple GPSes, and will allow parameters to be set on the
GPS object
