Fenix 9 Position.CONFIGURATION_GPS_xxxxx not supported

BUG: All Fenix 9 models do not support all 'Configuration values for known GNSS configurations', except for CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ.

Resolution: support all Position.CONFIGURATION_GPS_XXXXXX configurations.

I am seeing following results in the simulation for all Fenix 9 models and on my personal Fenix 9 51mm Solar. (Firmware v6.38 CIQ 6.0.3)

System.getDeviceSettings().partNumber) = 006-B4956-00

The fenix 9 series of devices only supports SatIQ and won't allow you to set select configurations like you've been able to do in the past. We have an upcoming SDK release that will have some additional mode constants that the fenix 9 firmware already supports. Here's a preview:

CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ_NORMAL - 255, Dynamic SatIQ Normal Mode. Balance between accuracy and battery life, and equivalent to the current CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ.

CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ_EXTENDED_BATTERY - 256, Dynamic SatIQ Extended Battery Mode. Longer battery life with good accuracy.

CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ_MAX_BATTERY - 257, Dynamic SatIQ Max Battery Mode. Longest battery life, but lower accuracy.

CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ_MAX_ACCURACY - 258, Dynamic SatIQ Max Accuracy Mode. Best accuracy, but higher battery consumption.

There are more specifics in the API docs indicating which configurations are available on which products. Apologies for the confusion and the delay in SDK support on this feature!

Here's something I'd try on a real f9 The friendly names aren't defined yet, but to see what options may be coming: You'll see true for 255, but what about others?
```
for(var c=0;c<300;c++) {
	System.println(c+" "+Position.hasConfigurationSupport(c));
}
```

We may have to wait for an SDK/Doc update, but it could also be that CONFIGURATION_SAT_IQ is the only option now as well as the default..

For now I've just disabled the ability to set a configuration on f9 devices.

My personal Fenix 9 51mm Solar (Firmware v6.38 CIQ 6.0.3) is having the same result.
