The problem appears to be the avalanche of trusted prompts that will be
triggered on the first search on an aggregator that talks to a bunch of
child scopes. This creates an OOBE that truly sucks.

Rather than have five or more prompts in a row, would it be possible,
the first time an aggregator that needs location info gets a search, to
trigger a *single* dialog that is nice and friendly? Something along the
lines of "The following scopes have requested access to location
information: Scope1, scope2, scope3. Do you want to permit this? You can
change these settings at any time in system settings, or click here to
do this now."

At least this would stop popping a while series of prompts.

Also, for some scopes that we "trust", would it be possible to have them
installed with permission already enabled? I don't know whether there is
such a thing as a "trusted click package". But, if we could do this, we
would avoid the trusted prompt for at least some of the scopes.

Title:
  [Scope] location settings are enabled by default

Bug description:
  This is in contrast to the rest of the system where user have to
  explicitly grant access right upfront.

  Possible solution would be to add a new page in phone setup wizard
  asking for whether scopes are allowed to use location or not and then
  applying this to individual scope location settings.
