Bug 1063572 - Geoclue2 geolocation provider. r=emilio


Add a Geoclue (version 2) geolocation provider.

This way Firefox can make use of multiple location sources present in the
system, from GNSS provided by a cellular modem or the current network to
location based on visible WiFi networks and 3G tower data, all while
sharing them with other applications.

This is a pure D-Bus-based implementation using a proper state machine, it
does not require any additional dependencies.
