There is more to this than meets the eye. The messages that we are
talking about here do not include any status at all. Most NMEA never
outputs any status. The Quectel never outputs status. So the problem
is in the client.
status is for binary protocols like u-blox.
I did change libgps_json.c to default status to STATUS_NO_FIX if there
is otherwise no status.
