The time has come to change FIXED_PORT_SPEED and FIXED_STOP_BITS from
build options and make them runtime options.
Wholeheartedly agree. We've begrudgingly modified this in our released products for years.
I'm all in favor of removing those and moving onward and upward.

Build options for common configurations are not useable by those that
use gpsd binaries built by someone else. Some GNSS receivers, like
the RES SMT 360 behave strangly unless you talk to them with odd
settings, like 8O1, that are hard to auto configure.
Is there an obvious option to use for these?
How about adding options:
-t [speed]
-T [char]
Where [speed] is the port speed, and [char] is bits/parity/stop (default 8N1).
Ideas?
