This series adds GeoClue support to iw.

A few items we should take into consideration for future
innovation and improvements.

 - The hostip provider should be extended to listen to signals for
   network connetions, and once one becomes availble we can enable
   asynchronous notifications back to the kernel.

 - Extend this to try first the GeoClue gypsy provider, gpsd.

 - Consider writing a GeoClue provider for https://wigle.net/
   which the supplicant can use to inform GeoClue of location.

 - Consider writing our own GeoClue provider based on timezones
   as a last resort.

 - Consider whether or not the kernel may want accuracy
   information as well to make more interesting decisions.
