iOS 8 - CLLocationManager authorization
iOS8 introduced a new authorization scheme for Location data.
Before retrieving location data, CLLocationManager must request authorization.
Call two methods: requestAlwaysAuthorization/requestWhenInUseAuthorization
on a location manager (which one will work/preferred - can be adjusted
by setting NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription/NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
entries in a plist).
Task-number: QTBUG-41827
