[time-nuts] GPS receiver testing

When I had (for a very limited time) the SMBV100A from R&S loaded with the
GPS simulator, I connected it to the 10MHz and PPS output of my GPSDO.
Unfortunately there was not time enough to take measures... anyway the PPS
output of the GPS under test aligned with the incoming PPS.
