Location average functionality added #32

First off, it doesn't have to be version 0.96.

Secondly, please let me know if you'd like to change anything.

In the spirit of this library, the location average methods are very similar to the location methods except for the dynamic resize ability.

Accessing the latitude is as simple as gps.location.average.lat()

Resizing (default 10) is as simple as: gps.location.average.resize(300)

This is the output of the LocationAverage.ino example:

Thanks for the contribution, but as TinyGPS++ is primarily an NMEA parser, I think I'd rather not overload it with geo-related calculations (courseTo and distanceBetween notwithstanding. :))
