Add Parameter to Toggle Automatic GPS Receiver Configuration

[flyingthingsintothings]

Solved Problem

Currently the autopilot always automatically configures the attached receivers. For some GPS receivers, the driver overwrites the complete runtime configuration. If a user wants to make manual edits to the runtime configuration, for example because they want to enable more features or add logging, they need a way to preserve their changes.

Solution

• Add a parameter called GPS_AUTO_CONFIG that lets users disable automatic receiver configuration.
