Description of changes

This patch adds gpsd as an optional dependency and points mepo's scripts' gpspipe to the correct path.

This patch also makes silent reporting of the user's location to Mozilla and geoclue opt-in rather than opt-out; this issue has been reported upstream to request a build flag so we don't have to use patches.
