Temporarily disable GPS while airplane mode is enabled #163

When phone is in airplane mode, GPS readings have no use since TowerCollector can't obtain tower cell data. So we could save a lot of battery by temporarily disabling GPS until phone exits airplane mode.

This small change is very useful to me as I regularly toggle airplane mode in my phone but can't remember to start and stop TowerCollector every time. It's much less hassle if I can just leave TowerCollector running all the time and let it enable/disable GPS when it needs to.
