[Bug 1374577] Re: 'unconfined' should not be listed under 'Location access' (or 'Other app access')

[Jamie Strandboge]

** Description changed:

  If I go to Location access under Security & Privacy, I have an entry in
  the list that is blank. I'm not sure what this is but I'm assuming it is
  for 'unconfined' ('unconfined' should be precached to default to 'allow'
  anyway).
  
  We should not allow the user to adjust entries for 'unconfined'
  processes in System Settings since this might break things in unexpected
  ways. Marking as Critical and for rtm14 because this is user facing,
  confusing to have a blank entry, can lead to unexpected behavior and
  because it should be trivial to filter this out.
  
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. $ stop ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
+ 2. mv ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db.bak
+ 3. $ start ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
+ 4. launch webbrowser-app (it is unconfined)
+ 5. navigate to maps.google.com. it will prompt to access location (browser prompt). Say yes
+ 
+ At this point I am presented with a trust session prompt:
+ "unconfined
+ 
+ An unconfined application wants to access your current location.
+ 
+ Deny
+ 
+ Allow"
+ 
+ 6. tap 'Allow'
+ 
+ This adds the following to the trust store:
+ 3|unconfined|0|1411758762544069109|1
+ 
+ location service shouldn't be prompting for this for the reasons
+ outlined above. Adding location-service task.
  
  This will likely affect camera and mic in 'Other app access'.

** Summary changed:

- 'unconfined' should not be listed under 'Location access' (or 'Other app access')
+ 'unconfined' should be precached and not listed under 'Location access' (or 'Other app access')
