This patch removes the copy of gps.h from the code, relying instead on the gps.h shipped with the distro (by libgps-dev). That much is simple enough, but the current version of libgps has moved from using doubles (as timestamp_t) to timespec_t structures for greater accuracy. This patch also adds some trivial fixes for this change.

During the main-inclusion review process for the userland package in Ubuntu, we noticed that the camera binaries are attempting to dynamically load a version of libgps that doesn't exist in Ubuntu (.so.23 instead of .so.26).
This patch removes the copy of gps.h from the code, relying instead on the
gps.hshipped with the distro (by libgps-dev which I've added as a build-dep for our release).That much is simple enough, but the current version of libgps in Ubuntu has moved from using doubles (as
timestamp_t) totimespec_tstructures for greater accuracy. This patch also adds some trivial fixes for this change too.For this reason, this patch shouldn't be merged for Raspbian Buster. If you want the gps.h removal in Raspbian Buster, I'm happy to split the patch into two, but I thought it might be better to simply leave this open until Raspbian Bullseye?
