This change eliminates the LocationProviderImpl class which had been used
for location providers running in the system process.
Now the LocationProvider base class is only used to implement the
LocationManager.createProvider() method for retrieving provider information.
Added a new IGpsStatusProvider interface for providers that serve GPS status.

Remove 1 Hz "heartbeat" polling of location providers from LocationManagerService.
Now location providers report their location to LocationManagerService via
LocationManager.setLocation() rather than waiting to be polled.
This reduces GPS fix latency by up to one second.
Remove LocationProvderImpl.getLocation().
Since we are no longer polling, this method is no longer necessary.
