running gps command without parameters results in segfault
due to illegal access to unallocated memory

- Note that the simulator still uses gpssim by default
- now the gps module can be used in the SITL. this makes it possible to test
the real gps HW under POSIX
additional steps needed to use it:
- in the rcS_jmavsim_iris, make sure to start the gps instead of gpssim:
gps start -d /dev/ttyACM0 -s
- disable the mavlink serial connection in simulator_mavlink.cpp,
openUart(PIXHAWK_DEVICE, 115200);
- this also fixes a memory leak in the gps module
These functions used vprintf which is not available on all platforms.
They also do not enable line and file debug output.
Changed to macros that preserve the output format. Uses new macro that
can be used to implement per object, runtime selectable logging

The existing orb_advert_t use thoughout the code sometimes tries
to treat it as a file descriptor and there are checks for < 0
and ::close calls on orb_advert_t types which is an invalid use
of an object pointer, which is what orb_advert_t really is.
Initially I had changed the -1 initializations to 0 but it was
suggested that this should be nullptr. That was a good recommendation
but the definition of orb_advert_t had to change to void * because
you cannot initialize a uintptr_t as nullptr.

The calls to orb_advertise were being mishandled throughout the code.
There were ::close() calls on memory pointers, there were checks
against < 0 when it is a pointer to a object and values larger than
0x7ffffffff are valid. Some places orb_advert_t variables were
being initialized as 0 other places as -1.
The orb_advert_t type was changed to uintptr_t so the pointer value
would not be wrapped as a negative number. This was causing a failure
on ARM.
Tests for < 0 were changed to == 0 since a null pointer is the valid
representation for error, or uninitialized.

The calls to task_spawn_cmd, kill_all, and systemreset were wrappers
around the px4_{task_spawn_cmd|kill_all|systemreset} implementations.
Removed the wrappers and changed all calls to the px4_ equivalents.
NuttX specific code was moved into px4_tasks.h

Keep existing API use in code. Bind the use of the OS independent
implementation in the systemlib layer.

Calls to task_delete and task_spawn_cmd are now
px4_task_delete and px4_task_spawn_cmd respectively.
The px4_tasks.h header was added to the affected files
and incusions of nuttx/config.h were removed.

Moved satellite info from vehicle_gps_position_s into a new uORB topic
satellite_info.
Renamed satellites_visible to satellites_used to reflect true content.
sdlog2 will log info for GPS satellites only for now.
