Wind calculation vs 302 output

Description

Flying with the latest "stable" alpha today, it became apparent that this version is copying wind info from my 302 gps via NMEA.

I prefer the old XCSoar wind calc (using TAS output from 302) to the 302, please at least make the option available!

That's right, when XCSoar gets wind from an external device, it ignores all user settings. Not a good thing. We need some option like "external wind overrides xcsoar wind".

How about some checkboxes on the Devices page "Use Wind", "Use Ballast", "Use Bugs", ...

or just the setting:
Master = XCSoar / External
