Having the on/off setting be backed by a boolean in dconf makes sense
anyway but this is mainly to be able to remember the max accuracy set
before user disabled geolocation so that when they enable it next time,
we have the max accuracy level on same value as before.
There hasn't been a real need for this but now we are about to add
geolocation settings in control center and it'll be easiser for
control-center to simply toggle a boolean property rather than to have
to know about and deal with accuracy levels.
Later we might also want to add accuracy level settings to privacy panel
so keeping the accuracy level setting around still. However we no longer
support 'off' accuracy level as the new boolean property covers that.
This also implies that we no longer track available accuracy level,
which made the code a bit hard to follow/maintain.

We translate 'On' to available accuracy level but if available accuracy
level later changes, we don't update available accuracy level accordingly
and hence limit the accuracy of apps.
E.g if available accuracy level is 'city' and geolocation is enabled,
the max accuracy level would be 'city' and apps can't get higher than
that. Now if user plugs in GPS, the available accuracy level will change
to 'exact' but without this patch max accuracy level will remain to be
'city' and apps will not be able to use the GPS.

If geoclue reports that we can't aquire location, we hide the menu. This
will typically happen when user is offline (and doesn't have a 3G
modem). This is likely not what we want since this like a temporary
situation and user would want the ability to toggle geolocation still
even if its currently not possible any applications to query the
location.

* 'Turn On' -> 'Enable'
* 'Turn Off' -> 'Disable'
* 'Off' -> 'Disabled'
* 'On' -> 'In Use' or 'Enabled' depending on whether or not service is
in use.

To be able to correctly setup dbus policy, I had to change the expected
agent D-Bus API a bit: Now object path is fixed and not different for
each user.

This reverts commit 5d05b66902.
Had a long discussion with Bastien Nocera and Allan Day on IRC about
this and in the end we decided to go with the simple on/off controls for
now.

When exact accuracy (i-e GPS) is available, allow user to disable that.
When users don't want application to get their precise location, they
can now opt for network-based geolocation only, which can be
street-level at best.

Instead of relying on geoclue to store this user configuration, lets
keep it in gsettings. Geoclue is a system service and therefore is not
the appropriate entity to keep this info.

Now that we are indicating 'geolocation in use' to user, we better also
provide at least a way to disable geolocation. Once this is in place, we
can provide slightly better controls rather than simply on/off switch.
