Correct the $CFGSYS init string for the UC6580 to init the receiver for: GPS L1 & L5 + BDS B1I & B2a + GLONASS L1 + GALILEO E1 & E5a + SBAS
Turn off GSV and NOTIFY __TXT messages as neither are necessary to Meshtastic operation.

While investigating a "Bogus course.value" message in the log I found that there was a lot on unnecessary message traffic from the UC6580 chip on the Heltec Wireless Tracker v1.1.
Most of this traffic was GSV sentences which provide azimuth, elevation, and signal strength for the currently visible satellites. While interesting, this information is not needed by Meshtastic (yet). In addition there are also some __TXT messages that are for use by Unicore, and should not be of interest to Meshtastic.
This PR turns these messages off and adds a bit of documentation.
