Removal of geolocation APIs on insecure origins

Removal of geolocation APIs on insecure origins

This disallows the geolocation APIs getCurrentPosition() and
watchPosition() from being used on insecure origins. Adds a console
warning message that the API call has failed because of this.

torne@, I believe this implements the API we need for this to work with WebKit.
Can you take a look, especially at the android_webview/ and content/ files that
implement the preference? Thanks!

Scratch that. I was mistaken. Didn't realize that
GeolocationProvider::GetInstance() had to be called from the UI thread (and then
I tested wrong so I missed it). Will rethink tomorrow.

Sorry, didn't get to this before the holidays. Approach looks okay, but one
question:

https://codereview.chromium.org/1530403002/diff/60001/third_party/WebKit/Sour...
File third_party/WebKit/Source/core/frame/UseCounter.cpp (right):

https://codereview.chromium.org/1530403002/diff/60001/third_party/WebKit/Sour...

"getCurrentPosition() and watchPosition() no longer work on insecure origins. To
use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure
origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.";
I'm not clear on how the warnings work here, so one question: after this change
lands, will there still be a warning printed to the console in WebView apps
which use geolocation on insecure origins? If so, does this mean the wording of
the warning has changed to say that it doesn't work even though it still does?

Indeed, you are correct. How about I change the wording to be a bit more
ambiguous for now (see the new CL), and we can change it to be more explicitly
"no longer work" after WebView is fixed permanently?

[Torne (Vacation until Jul 9), 2016-01-06 11:59:11]

LGTM.

Once this lands we can talk about when we can try unsetting the flag and and
testing the waters.

Yes, it's a temporary bypass for WebView. What other security downgrade settings
are there for WebView? And where did you have in mind? This seemed like the
simplest solution I could come up with.

setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs maybe? I don't recall the exact context for this
setting anymore...

(We don't need to create a new object, I was just wondering if it'd make sense
to group the stuff together in Settings.in so we could track the stuff we've had
to add specifically for Android WebView compat)

Based on the comment in
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/content/public/com...,
I think that's just a setting for developers who need the old-style behavior
(that is, it's not WebView specific).

Given that this is a temporary hack until we get WebView sorted out, I don't
think it makes sense to group them all together, especially since I don't know
what are specific to WebView vs used by (but not exclusively for) WebView.

This should address all the comments. However, I'm going to wait to commit this
until we've moved up one release since we're already past M49 feature freeze,
and this feels like a change that should live on Canary for a while first.
