Changed gps.c to have gps_auto_config set mode to "airborne <2g" instead of "pedestrian"

Browse source 
I am new to this... terminology is foreign, please bear with me :/
Using a ublox M8N gps receiver on my BFF3, velocity readings were very laggy and inaccurate; readings were unusable. After researching, I compiled a hex where the gps_auto_config sets the "dynamic platform model" to the airborne <2g mode. Once done, I compared osd velocity readings to my car with excellent results and response time. I have flown about a dozen times since and the difference is astounding (sample video: https://youtu.be/CLArfxTj15M).
From the ublox documentation:
"7.1 Platform settings
u-blox receivers support different dynamic platform models (see table below) to adjust the navigation engine to
the expected application environment. These platform settings can be changed dynamically without performing
a power cycle or reset. The settings improve the receiver's interpretation of the measurements and thus provide
a more accurate position output. Setting the receiver to an unsuitable platform model for the given application
environment is likely to result in a loss of receiver performance and position accuracy."
