Add yaw in GPS fact and displayed it under GPS Status menu

Description

When using GPS heading along Gyroscope, QGrondControl will only show gyroscope compass, user can't know easily if heading is working correctly or what is his value.
I have added yaw to gps fact and make it displayed under Vehicle GPS Status menu.

The only way before was to open MAVLink inspector and check the value of yaw.
0 will be displayed if GPS do not provide heading and N/A when heading is not available.

The toolbar indicator dropdown isn't meant to include stuff like this. It's for general status. This is a pretty low level detail. With the yaw adding to the fact group you can just include the values you want in the instrument panel to view.

Thanks for the review !
I didn't know it was possible to display information like that, I have updated the PR to keep only yaw in fact settings groups,

I like it. What about GPS_RAW_INT? We should include the yaw from that message as well. I'm not sure we can assume that the RTK Rover is always GPS2?
