Bumped maximum channel count to 32 to accommodate GPS+GLONASS devices.

+ API version bumped to 5, redesign finished (changes are documented
in the Client HOWTO). cgps now handles resize signals. Code can now
link with uClibc for embedded use. Various bugs in the C++ binding
have been fixed. gpxlogger can now daemonize and write to a specified
log file. A gpsd client can now set any locale it likes, and JSON
will still be parsed using the C locale matching the daemon's. Clients
are no longer required to define a gpsd_report() hook. gpsd no longer

+ JSON timestamps in TPV and SKY are now ISO8601 rather than seconds since

+ AIS and RTCM2 JSON dumps have device fields. JSON reports now include 50bps
+ subframe data if the device allows access to it. gpsdecode can now dump NMEA
GPS binary, and subframe data to JSON. The RTCM2 code now understands and
analyzes RTCM2.3 messages 13 and 14. The ancient Sager dump format for RTCM2
is abolished in favor of a JSON profile.
