cgps has its own codes for the different GNSSs. I think it would be
nice if GPSd/cgps would use the same abbreviations as in other software
packages (Trimble TPP, U-Center, rtklib, etc.)

The following tables shows the different systems and currently used
short char ids. Is it possible to switch to either 3-char ids or if
that is too long, using the 1-char codes for the GNSSs.

| Name    | 3-char | GPSd 2-char | 1-char
| GPS     | GPS | GP | G
| GLONASS | GLO | GL | R
| GALILEO | GAL | GA | E
| BeiDou  | BDS | BD | C
| QZSS    | QZS | QZ | J
| SBAS    | SBS | SB | S
| IRNSS   | IRN | IR | I
| IMES    |     | IM |
