ice: use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY



Previously support for GNSS was implemented as a TTY driver, it allowed
to access GNSS receiver on /dev/ttyGNSS_<bus><func>.

Use generic GNSS subsystem API instead of implementing own TTY driver.
The receiver is accessible on /dev/gnss<id>. In case of multiple receivers
in the OS, correct device can be found by enumerating either:
- /sys/class/net/<eth port>/device/gnss/
- /sys/class/gnss/gnss<id>/device/

Using GNSS subsystem is superior to implementing own TTY driver, as the
GNSS subsystem was designed solely for this purpose. It also implements
TTY driver but in a common and defined way.

From user perspective, there is no difference in communicating with a
device, except new path to the device shall be used. The device will
provide same information to the userspace as the old one, and can be used
in the same way, i.e.:
old # gpsmon /dev/ttyGNSS_2100_0
new # gpsmon /dev/gnss0
There is no other impact on userspace tools.

User expecting onboard GNSS receiver support is required to enable
CONFIG_GNSS=y/m in kernel config.
