This makes PSTR() type safe by using a 1 byte wrapper
structure. Attempts to use the wrong varient of a print function will
generate a compilation error.

- 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.

Otherwise, we can end up settling on NMEA as a mode just after switching a SiRF GPS to binary mode.

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'.
