[Bug 1771080] [NEW] gpsd should start after chrony if they are being used together

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Public bug reported:

When using GPSD to provide a time signal over a socket to chrony, it is
necessary to start gpsd after chrony (I think this is so that gpsd finds
the /var/run/chrony.ttySX.sock file when it launches). gpsd tends to
want to drop privileges quickly which makes it hard for it to find this
file later, aiui.
