Patch to allow for connection watching without the cacheable flag

Basically if you require a network, and you don't report yourself as cacheable, then GeoclueMaster isn't watching the connection status so you'll never get to a connected state in a reasonable way. This makes sources that want to check and update over time using the network as basically unusable.

Closing all bugs on old geoclue. If your bug still applies to new geoclue, please do re-open, I really don't have time to go through each and every bug and evaluate separately. :( Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this change.
