fix 124 - we now fallback to nema if we can't talk ublox protocol to

the GPS.  Though we are super power inefficient about it so TODO/FIXME
someday to decrease our power draw.

 - at boot we are starting our message IDs at 1, rather we should start them at a random number. also, seed random based on timer. this could be the cause of our first message not seen bug.
