It's great that users can now disable access...  but I see two other
issues now:

- After disabling access to an app, the app is still shown as being
allowed to access location services.  Just exit the settings app and re-
start it, and the UI shows access as enabled again.

- After disabling access to an app, the user cannot re-enable access.
It's shown as enabled, but it no longer works.  Toggling the checkbox no
longer seems to do anything.

  Location service uses the cached authorization, even if the user

Bug description:
  The bug occurs after removing location access authorization to an
  application. The location is still available to the application,
  despite the user having revoked access from within USS > Privacy >
  Location.

  To reproduce:

  1. Open a map application, like Here map
  2. Allow access to location
  3. Switch to System Settings > Privacy > Location
  4. Disable location access for Maps
  5. Kill Here map, and restart it

  What should happen: you should not have access anymore (and should not see a prompt)
  What happens instead: the app still has access to your location, as shown in the logs:

  I1030 16:15:38.167752  3100 cached_agent_glog_reporter.cpp:32]
  CachedAgent::authenticate_request_with_parameters: Application pid:
  27975 Application uid: 32011 Application id:  com.nokia.heremaps_here
  Cached request:   Request(from: com.nokia.heremaps_here, feature: 0,
  when: 1414682114882519283, answer: granted)

  I confirmed that the trust store had recorded the authorization change
  as in:

  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sqlite3 ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db "select * from requests"
  1|unconfined|0|1414098093331252474|1
  2|com.nokia.heremaps_here|0|1414682114882519283|1
  3|com.nokia.heremaps_here|0|1414682131206341515|0

  From a user's perspective: Despite having explicitly rejected trust to
  an application, the app would still be able to access services.
