Option was just removed upstream (e720403069dd6ca)
Reason given was: "It overlapped RECONFIGURE_ENABLE in strange ways".
This was preventing gpsctl to configure receivers, but i guess this
option is not relevant anymore.

Replaced with -p (--passive) runtime option.
This is to prevent gpsd to auto-configure receivers.

This option was already removed in 3.20.
It is replaced with -s <speed> runtime option.
FIXED_STOP_BITS was also replaced with -f <framing> opt but this was never
included in the buildroot configuration anyway.
