Title:
  'unconfined' should be precached for trusted helpers

Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “trust-store” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  We should not prompt the user for unconfined or allow the user to
  adjust entries for 'unconfined' processes in System Settings since
  this might break things in unexpected ways. Marking as Critical and
  for rtm14 because this is user facing, confusing to have a blank
  entry, can lead to unexpected behavior, and because it should be easy
  to precache this.

  Steps to reproduce (this resets the location trust-store db):
  1. $ stop ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
  2. mv ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db.bak
  3. $ start ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
  4. launch webbrowser-app (it is unconfined)
  5. navigate to maps.google.com. it will prompt to access location (browser prompt). Say yes

  At this point I am presented with a trust session prompt:
  "unconfined

  An unconfined application wants to access your current location.

  Deny

  Allow"

  6. tap 'Allow'

  This adds the following to the trust store:
  3|unconfined|0|1411758762544069109|1

  location service shouldn't be prompting for this for the reasons
  outlined above. Adding location-service task.

  This will likely affect camera and mic in 'Other app access'.
