GPS got stuck in data acquisition #1

Seems an issue when entering in lowPowerHandler mode issue

https://github.com/HelTecAutomation/CubeCell-Arduino/issues/230

Seems comming from millis() after lowPowerHandler entered. In my case I fixed the gps to 9600 baud and use my own GPS_Air530Z.h where I removed everything regarding guess gps baudrate.

After fixing the GPS I need also to send a Lora message, and I get stuck there. Will not dig into libs but seems related to Radio.send().

I've finally implemented watchdogs on both to get out of this.

Seems not completely solved by removing the double ;; in HardwareSerial.cpp file #247 (comment) but we can have some more iterations after using the lowPowerHandler

In case anyone is still having this problem, in PlatformIO the solution is to change the platform in the platformio.ini file. If you choose the Cubecell GPS board when starting a project it will default to "platform = asrmicro650x". This platform is deprecated and must be manually changed to "platform = heltec-cubecell". Once this is done the GPS functionality will work correctly.
