Clear position on GPS deactivation, unless using fixed position

As reported by @dreimal8 , and confirmed by @tuxmobil , when using
and then subsequently disabling GPS the last position retrieved from
the GPS was stored and continued to be broadcast.

This change introduces a check to see if we are transitioning from
GPS Enabled to GPS Disabled or Not Present. If we are, and fixed
position is not in use, then we clear the local position.

This will prevent inaccurate and undesired position broadcasts for those
who disable their GPS.
