Johan Hovold 10f146639f gnss: add receiver type support
Add a "type" device attribute and a "GNSS_TYPE" uevent variable which
can be used to determine the type of a GNSS receiver. The currently
identified types reflect the protocol(s) supported by a receiver:

	"NMEA"	NMEA 0183
	"SiRF"	SiRF Binary
	"UBX"	UBX

Note that both SiRF and UBX type receivers typically support a subset of
NMEA 0183 with vendor extensions (e.g. to allow switching to the vendor
protocol).

Description:
The GNSS receiver type. The currently identified types reflect
the protocol(s) supported by the receiver:
"NMEA" NMEA 0183
"SiRF" SiRF Binary
"UBX" UBX
Note that also non-"NMEA" type receivers typically support a
subset of NMEA 0183 with vendor extensions (e.g. to allow
switching to a vendor protocol).
