Adds ExtraPermissionLink in PermissionController which allows the user to toggle the HIDE_LOCATION_INDICATOR flag for specific apps. This reuses much of the code used by Contact/Storage scopes.

This is useful for trusted apps such as Home Assistant or GPS logger which frequently collect and relay your location to a trusted destination. This feature improves both usability and privacy by reducing noise that users of these apps face and preventing them from "being used" to the privacy indicator when a less trusted app uses it or disabling the feature entirely via an adb shell command.
