Modifications to original Ecowitt GW1000 driver.

[Cameron D]

I have placed a modified version of Gary Roderick's GW1000 driver on  github at https://github.com/CameronD73/weewx-utilities/tree/main/drivers/gw1000

My reason for doing  this was because a recent upgrade to Debian Trixie removed the "six" compatibility module. Rather than hunt it down and mess around with custom additions, I removed python-2 compatibility.

My other reason was that I thought I had a GW1000 gateway, which is not compatible with the ecowitt_http driver. It turns out that I have a gw1100, so I intend to move over to the http driver when I have a few spare moments.

I also removed Weewx version 3 style logging (in the process of trying to debug missing debug logs).

There are no enhancements in the updated code.

Just for others searching in the future....

If you want to run unmodified, the old six module is still available in trixie
