Gpsd can't open the tcp connection with str2str_tcp

[Stefal]

Describe the bug

During my tests to repro #414, sometime gpsd service failed and doesn't try to restart. It occurs only from time to time, and when str2str_tcp doesn't open the serial connection successfuly (it stays on waiting even though the Gnss receiver is ok. Maybe related to https://github.com/rtklibexplorer/RTKLIB/issues/622)

Expected behavior Gpsd should not start, or should try to restart

Software/Hardware (please complete the following information):

• RTKBase release number 2.6.3
• OS: Armbian Bookworm
• SBC: Orange Pi Zero
• GNSS Device: F9P
• Connection type: uart

** Solution ** One way is to test is the tcp connection is available before starting gpsd. I did a quick test with this script named check_tcp.sh:

#!/bin/bash
timeout 1 bash -c 'cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/localhost/5015'

which is launched with a new line in the gpsd service: ExecStartPre=/home/basegnss/rtkbase/tools/check_tcp.sh
