Location provider app ops remapping

The platform has the concept of a location provider which could
be a plugin implemented by another package. The implementation
of a location provider plugin can make calls to APIs that require
a location permission, e.g. fusing data from different sources.
However, such accesses are counted in app ops as a location access
but the accessor is in this case the data source. It is also
possible that the package that provides the implementation of a
location provider also hosts other funcionality which may need to
call APIs that require a location permission.

This change allows a location provider to specify app op attribution
tags which which could be used when calling location to singal to the
OS that the access is for the location providing functionality of the
location provider. For location accesses of the provider package that
are not related to providing location to the OS the provider can use
any other non delcared as location attribution tags. Accesses with
the location attribution tags would be counted in app ops but instead
of towards the OP_COARSE_LOCATION/OP_FINE_LOCATION the would be
counted towards dedicated OP_COARSE_LOCATION_PROVIDER/
OP_FINE_LOCATION_PROVIDER ops. This would allow proper classification
while enabling auditability and tracking via the standard app op APIs.
