CM13 Rom gps fix

The whole "flash a TouchWiz rom and restore your cm13 rom to get a gps lock" fix wasn't cutting it for me so I went a little further and implemented some gps fixes I've researched and implemented in the past when I was trying to get the best gps for playing ingress.

First thing I noticed was that the cm13 Roms I installed had every gps.conf suggestion I've ever read worked on any phone ever. Here is an area where, in my opinion, more is not better. I stripped it down to just one xtra server, and one ntp server, picking ones for my geographical location.

I don't need the debugging anymore so I set it to 0, and I removed references to supl servers because we are not using those correctly, they require a supl certificate to be created specifically for you device, if you don't do that, yet have supl servers in your gps.conf, you are slowing down your lock time.

For capabilities, you'll notice that 17 is what all the different numbers add up to, meaning all those features are enabled and will be used if your (our) phone supports it.

I also changed the LPP to 3 to enable both user and control plane.

Last change was turning intermediate position on and setting threshold at 5000, turning this off (either by placing a hashtag in front of code or changing "1" to "0" ) will slow down gps lock time.

Try this out by opening your gps.conf file in the system/etc folder of your rooted cm13 rom and paste this text. Make sure the file permissions stay rw r r and restart your phone ,then enjoy your cm13 rom with quick gps locks.
