Fixes gps/*.py to use new-style classes.
Although this isn't strictly a Python 3 requirement, using the new-style class definition syntax improves consistency between Python 2 and Python 3. Old-style classes have been deprecated since Python 2.2, but many such definitions linger on. Python 3 eliminates old-style classes, but instead of complaining about old-style definitions, it simply unconditionally and silently makes all classes new-style. The only incompatible differences are quite subtle and rarely matter in practice, but things are more consistent across versions if the new-style definitions are used. Also, the preferred method for subclasses to invoke parent init methods is via the super() construct, which is only available with new-style classes. Using super() is especially useful with multiple inheritance, which it handles automatically (provided that the init methods have compatible signatures). TESTED: Ran "scons build-all check valgrind-audit", as well as gegps, gpscat, gpsprof, xgps, and xgpsspeed, with all six supported Python versions (except 2.6 for xgps*).
