Summary

Bumps the pointperfect client to pointperfect-client-mavlink#2 and exposes its new use_mga option in the packaged config: PointPerfect's NEAR-RTCM-MGA / NEAR-SPARTN-MGA mountpoints deliver u-blox AssistNow ephemeris (UBX-MGA) once on connect, ahead of the corrections, for a faster time to first fix. Requested by our u-blox rep.

Problem

The client only used the plain NEAR-RTCM / NEAR-SPARTN mountpoints; there was no way to opt into the assistance-data feed, and the client's forwarding path could not have delivered the connect-time MGA burst to the receiver intact (details in the client PR).

Solution

Submodule bump plus use_mga = false (opt-in, u-blox receivers only) in packaging/config/pointperfect.toml, which the ARK UI picks up as a toggle like the other booleans. Merge after the client PR; re-bump the pointer if that PR gains review commits.

Bump the client submodule so NTRIP (and the one-shot AssistNow burst)
opens only after the first GPS_RAW_INT, ensuring the FC will inject MGA
to the receiver. GGA remains gated on a stable ≥2D fix.
…n branch

PR #2 merged upstream; retarget 5cedcb6 (branch tip) at the merge commit
5f6c998. Identical trees, but the pointer now sits on main.
