There were many requests to provide a static location source for systems
which don't normally move but where the existing location sources provide
poor location estimate.
An example of such system would be a desktop PC without WiFi or 3G modem.

So let's add a source that reads location from "geolocation" file in
@sysconfdir@ (normally /etc) to cover this use case.
This file is constantly monitored for changes during Geoclue operation
and the reported static location is updated accordingly.

The geoclue(5) man page should be consulted for the format description of
this file.

The whole repo was nuked by me and hadess to
start with a clean slate so you can't checkout
anything from git prior to 2.0.

We got loads of spam on the list so even if there were occasional genuine
mails there, I wouldn't notice them and hence not let them through.

Add features, communication & contribution, build information,
and usage of Geoclue.

Fixes #108

HACKING.md file contains the build instructions to build and run Geoclue

Fixes #104

In most places we just use the former so the latter is only confusing and
inconsistent.

Add hint about probable trouble on Ubuntu 14.04 because of
glib > 2.44.0 requirement to new README section
'Troubleshooting and known limitations'.

Doing so that we can use both GPL and LGPL libraries in future, e.g
libwlocate from openwlanmap.org.
