Add PERSISTANT_GPS and ENV_SKIP_GPS_DETECT flags to the Station G2 repeater build so the GPS module (when physically connected) is active from boot and automatically syncs the RTC clock. Without these flags, GPS detection fails on cold-starting GPS modules that need more than 1 second to begin outputting NMEA data, causing all GPS CLI commands to be unavailable. The existing MicroNMEALocationProvider already handles initial sync after fix acquisition and periodic re-sync every 30 minutes - these flags just ensure it is enabled. Relates to meshcore-dev#1426 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Station G2 has GPS pins defined and GPS code compiles in, but the boot-time detection gives the GPS only 1 second to output NMEA data. Cold-starting GPS modules miss this window. With these flags, GPS is assumed present and stays active, letting the existing
MicroNMEALocationProvidersync the RTC automatically on fix (~30-90s) and re-sync every 30 minutes.Relates to #1426
