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:

General information on AssistNow:

Token can be setup on Application options:

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).

Currently able to fetch assistnow online and offline data from the web,
but breaking data down into individual ubx commands is failing.

I may need to change it into fetching and treating data as binary.
