Add UBLOX AssistNow support to configurator #2123

Closed mmosca closed 1 week ago

Make use of iNavFlight/inav#9349 to send Assistnow messages to GPS.

Should help seeding gps info from the internet to speed up initial lock on M8+ GPS devices.

You will need to provide your own AssistNow token.

The configurator can cache AssistNow Offline information for up to 3 days. Currently, the information is not written to the GPS unit flash, so it needs to be applied after the fc has been turned on.

Information on how to register for a token is available at: https://developer.thingstream.io/guides/location-services/assistnow-getting-started-guide

Both AssistNow Online and Offline are supported.

Currently, both require an active internet connection, but AssistNow Offline is saved and can be re-used for 3 days (can probably be kept a bit longer).
