Eliminate anticipatory driver switching.
Eliminate anticipatory driver switching after NMEA-to-binary or
binary-to-NMEA mode switches. Driver switching now takes place only
when a packet of the right type is returned. This is more robust
against the possibility that mode-change operations may fail; they
seem to be prone to timing-dependent glitches.
