this caused a uBlox to incorrectly configure as "portable" instead of
airborne if the detection took more than 2 seconds. That led to
terrible performance.
if a UBlox is configured for NMEA only, with no UBX messages at all
then it would never trigger the GPS_AUTO detection. This adds a UBX
config message to the init strings that enables the NAV_SOL message
- 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.

Nuke AP_GPS_IMU, as nothing is using it anymore.
Simplify the handling of no GPS/no fix detection.
Fix prototypes for ::init and ::read.
Update AP_GPS_Auto and corresponding example, nearly ready for primetime.
Use uint8_t rather than byte.
Strip some _error() calls to save space. More could still go.

Switch to subclassing GPS and manipulating a global pointer. Update the test program so that it works again.

Note that this is currently disabled as changes need to be made to APM to support it.
Tested with MTK, u-blox and SiRF GPS'.
