This affects available features (eg. Alexa). Defaults to the previous
value of "unknown" for now, and no UI. Alexa requires a region where it
is available, such as Germany ("de").
Since the PR #2961 aswell as #2976, i pushed the changes to this pr.
Original text:
With this PR, the gadgetbridge app sends the current locationd data, obtained from the gps or network provider, to a connected banglejs device as an "gps" event.
The bangle device can use this data instead of the internal gps data. Therefor saving battery energy, since the gps chip is one of the biggest energy consumers.
Furthermore it enables the banglejs device to use the location data, based on the network with which the phone is currently connected. This would be usefull if there is no gps signal.
Updates:
I added a network provider so that it is possible to use the network location. I also overload the start method of GBLocationManager so that it is now possible to select which provider should be used to get the data (currently GPS or Network) and to set a interval to determine how often the update should be run.
For the banglejs device i added a switch to enable the sending of gps data. I also added a setting, to set the interval on how often the gps data is being updated. This allows to throttle the updates of the gps data and therefore saving energy of the smartphone batterie.
To further save energy, the app now requestes the current status of the gps from the banglejs and only sends data, if the gps of the banglejs is turned on.
In the PR #2976 I also moved the settings to the device settings of the banglejs and i moved the logic to the onLocationChanged method of the GBLocationManager.

- get rid of pre-lollipop BLE discovery (nowadays we support only lollipop and above) and related preference
- get rid of the sequenced BT-then-BLE-scan that wasn't working reliably anyway and was causing a recursion
- add a caching layer for already processed devices (the same device is found multiple times during discovery)
- add a caching layer for device name in GBDeviceCandidate (many coordinators will ask for it, and it's a very expensive operation)
Mostly copied from the Buds Pro as those earbuds have a similar feature set and mostly the same protocol.
