Switch the CSV format emitted by gpsdecode(1) to DSV using |.
The problem with CSV is that string fields (such as ship name in type 5) can
contain commas. I could have backslash-escaped them, but I think it's better
to make old scripts fail in a way that's likely to be noticed than perpetuate
a situation in which unescaped commas could cause output to be unpacked
wrongly. I changed the Python decoder as well.
Required rebuilding one regression test. All regression tests pass.
