LocationManagerService now keeps track of the current user ID and
denies location requests made by all but the foreground user.
Additionally, location settings are now user-specific, rather than
global to the device. Location provider services now run as specific
users, and when the device's foreground user changes, we rebind to
appropriately-owned providers.

Themes: Fused Location, Geofencing, LocationRequest.
API changes
o Fused location is always returned when asking for location by Criteria.
o Fused location is never returned as a LocationProvider object, nor returned
as a provider String. This wouldn't make sense because the current API
design assumes that LocationProvider's have fixed properties (accuracy, power
etc).
o The fused location engine will tune itself based on the criteria passed
by applications.
o Deprecate LocationProvider. Apps should use fused location (via Criteria
class), instead of enumerating through LocationProvider objects. It is
also over-engineered: designed for a world with a plethora of location
providers that never materialized.
o The Criteria class is also over-engineered, with many methods that aren't
currently used, but for now we won't deprecate them since they may have
value in the future. It is now used to tune the fused location engine.
o Deprecate getBestProvider() and getProvider().
o Add getLastKnownLocation(Criteria), so we can return last known
fused locations.
o Apps with only ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION _can_ now use the GPS, but the location
they receive will be fudged to a 1km radius. They can also use NETWORK
and fused locatoins, which are fudged in the same way if necessary.
o Totally deprecate Criteria, in favor of LocationRequest.
Criteria was designed to map QOS to a location provider. What we
really need is to map QOS to _locations_.
The death knell was the conflicting ACCURACY_ constants on
Criteria, with values 1, 2, 3, 1, 2. Yes not a typo.
o Totally deprecate LocationProvider.
o Deprecate test/mock provider support. They require a named provider,
which is a concept we are moving away from. We do not yet have a
replacement, but I think its ok to deprecate since you also
need to have 'allow mock locations' checked in developer settings.
They will continue to work.
o Deprecate event codes associated with provider status. The fused
provider is _always_ available.
o Introduce Geofence data object to provide an easier path fowards
for polygons etc.
Implementation changes
o Fused implementation: incoming (GPS and NLP) location fixes are given
a weight, that exponentially decays with respect to age and accuracy.
The half-life of age is ~60 seconds, and the half-life of accuracy is
~20 meters. The fixes are weighted and combined to output a fused
location.
o Move Fused Location impl into
frameworks/base/packages/FusedLocation
o Refactor Fused Location behind the IProvider AIDL interface. This allow us
to distribute newer versions of Fused Location in a new APK, at run-time.
o Introduce ServiceWatcher.java, to refactor code used for run-time upgrades of
Fused Location, and the NLP.
o Fused Location is by default run in the system server (but can be moved to
any process or pacakge, even at run-time).
o Plumb the Criteria requirements through to the Fused Location provider via
ILocation.sendExtraCommand(). I re-used this interface to avoid modifying the
ILocation interface, which would have broken run-time upgradability of the
NLP.
o Switch the geofence manager to using fused location.
o Clean up 'adb shell dumpsys location' output.
o Introduce config_locationProviderPackageNames and
config_overlay_locationProviderPackageNames to configure the default
and overlay package names for Geocoder, NLP and FLP.
o Lots of misc cleanup.
o Improve location fudging. Apply random vector then quantize.
o Hide internal POJO's from clients of com.android.location.provider.jar
(NLP and FLP). Introduce wrappers ProviderRequestUnbundled and
ProviderPropertiesUnbundled.
o Introduce ProviderProperties to collapse all the provider accuracy/
bearing/altitude/power plumbing (that is deprecated anyway).
o DELETE lots of code: DummyLocationProvider,
o Rename the (internal) LocationProvider to LocationProviderBase.
o Plumb pid, uid and packageName throughout
LocationManagerService#Receiver to support future features.

Use config_netowrkLocationProviderPackageName and
config_geocodeProviderPackageName as intial packages. If another
package exists (or is later installed) that also implements a
provider, and has the same signatures as the original providers,
and has a hgiher version number, then use that instead.
The old code used a funky fix of package name substring checks
and service checks that was broken and not upgradeable.

...apk reinstall; affects user privacy
Disconnecting a ServiceConnection after an app is torn down could
impact the bookkeeping of the same service if it has been started
for the app.
Also address issue #5073927: GSF process can't be killed
A new flag allows the systems location manager service to tell
the activity manager to not pull bound services up forever into
the visible adj level.

The proxy must ensure that enable/disable calls are not reordered when
proxied; this change adds synchronization to prevent such reordering
that could happen following an onServiceConnected() callback, and to
ensure cross-thread visibility of writes.
Also, when the package is updated, the old service instance must be
unbound and the new one bound. This changes uses a separate
Connection object per service instance (package version) to avoid
confusing the binder objects.
