N3xx: Remove close-in noise on TX
Some close-in noise was observed on TX when using external references. This change reduces the noise by changing U19 to select the GPSDO when references are set to external. Also included is a change to properly read and apply settings from the configuration file. This allows the user to further quiet the transmission by adding 'enable_gps=False' to the configuration file in order to power off the GPSDO. Signed-off-by: Michael West <michael.west@ettus.com>

+To reduce phase noise, it may be necessary to power down the GPSDO when using
+an external reference. To do this, just add `enable_gps=False` to the
+configuration file in `/etc/uhd/mpm.conf` (see also \ref page_configfiles).
Note: When disabling the GPS with `enable_gps=0` in the configuration file, or
