Improve Location object.
Add getElapsedRealtimeNano(): Currently Location just has getTime() and setTime() based on UTC time. This is entirely unreliable since it is not guaranteed monotonic. There is a lot of code that compares fix age based on deltas - and it is all broken in the case of a system clock change. System clock can change when switching cellular networks (and in some cases when switching towers). Document the meaning of getAccuracy(): It is the horizontal, 95% confidence radius. Make some fields mandatory if they are reported by a LocationProvider: All Locations returned by a LocationProvider must include at the minimum a lat, long, timestamps, and accuracy. This is necessary to perform fused location. There are no public API's for applications to feed locations into a location provider so this should not cause any breakage. If a LocationProvider does not fill in enough fields on a Location object then it is dropped, and logged. Bug: 4305998 Change-Id: I7df77125d8a64e174d7bc8c2708661b4f33461ea
