Document the data-model contract for server-corrected navigation.position when GPS antenna offsets are configured. Adds sensors.<id>.sourceRef so sensor metadata can be linked to its data stream; describes navigation.position as the Common Coordinate Reference Point (CCRP) at center-of-vessel on the centerline (body coordinates (length/2, 0) measured from the bow) when correction is active; documents the meta.gpsOffsetCorrection entry that preserves the raw value and the correction provenance. Motivated by SignalK/signalk-server#2399, which adds the multi-GPS configuration UI and the in-server lever-arm corrector.

This is the specification side of SignalK/signalk-server#2399, which adds the multi-GPS configuration UI and the in-server lever-arm corrector. Source priorities mean the active position source can flip between antennas with different offsets, which is fragile to correct client-side; the server has the active-source resolution and the heading, so it applies the correction in-process and emits the raw value plus correction provenance in
metafor downstream history.
