This creates a new UAVObject called GPSSatellites to hold
information about which satellites the GPS receiver can see
and the quality of their signals.
NMEA GSV sentences are now parsed. The full set of GSV data
may be split across multiple GSV sentences, each containing
info for at most 4 satellites. Once an entire set of GSV
records has been collected, the GPSSatellites UAVObject is
updated.

Remove asserts on bad data, only assert on coding errors.
Remove unnecessary inline qualifier to reduce code size.
Handle more lat/lon precisions in conversion to fixed-point.

GPS module now updates GPSPosition UAVObject
rather than the PositionActual object. The
GPSPosition object is intended to be consumed
only by the AHRS. The AHRS will use this (and
other inputs) to compute a filtered version of
the position in the PositionActual object.
This commit will cause temporary breakage of the
GPS functionality in the GCS until the PositionActual
object is properly updated by the AHRS. Most of the
GCS should continue to use PositionActual. The only
exception to this might be any tool for specifically
visualizing the raw GPS state.
GPS.c is now only responsible for receiving a
complete NMEA sentence from the COM interface.
NMEA parsing is now factored out into NMEA.[ch]
which is where GPSPosition is now updated based
on the complete NMEA sentences obtained from the
GPS.
Latitude and Longitude are now encoded in a
fixed-point notation in units of degrees x 10^-7
to prevent truncation of precision due to encoding
into a float.
