DrZiplok@gmail.com 52a0a03d56 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.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 1bfcdaa2cb Add a delay after sending the GPS mode switch strings in an attempt to give any NMEA data time to drain before we attempt to sniff again.
Otherwise, we can end up settling on NMEA as a mode just after switching a SiRF GPS to binary mode.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 8da4a29d58 Add support for the DIYD MTK v1.6 firmware
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.

james.goppert aa115aea68 AP_GPS libs now recover from disconnect or failed initialization.

DrZiplok@gmail.com ee105a0ebf The previous initialisation strategy for auto-detection doesn't play well with the way APM uses the GPS.
Switch to subclassing GPS and manipulating a global pointer.  Update the test program so that it works again.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 0a94520682 Add support for automatically detecting the connected GPS and configuring accordingly.
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'.
