RELEASE CANDIDATE 1.4.10

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. Add basic custom offline map facility to map view widget. See README for details.
2. Add support for SETPOLL msgmode (requires pyubx2>=1.2.38). This mode will automatically determine appropriate input mode (SET or POLL) for command or query UBX messages (NB: it will still be necessary to specify either output GET or input SETPOLL mode in the serial configuration panel when reading UBX data logs).
3. Add support for experimental UBXSimulator (basic UBX GNSS serial device simulator) from pygnssutils. To invoke, set userport_s setting to "ubxsimulator" and configure required NMEA/UBX data stream in local "ubxsimulator.json" file - see Sphinx documentation and example json file for further details.

FIXES:

1. Send empty datagram to UDP socket connections = thanks to @Williangalvani for contribution.

Fixes #113
