[META] #125001: Allow user submitted coordinates on users / gmap_location rewrite

This copy of gmap_location.module is the last version with support for submitting user locations built in. (Remove the .txt to use.)

I was hacking away all day on gmap_location.

Removed features:
* Custom theming for acidfree removed, as it didn't work anyway.
* Adding user locations removed, use #125001 or convince me to roll it into another module.
* Buddylist friend lines removed, due to speed concerns in the current implementation. Reimplementing this as an addon would be nice.

Changed:
* Avoid user_load and node_load by using more complex queries. Decreases page generation time by, um, a lot.
* Force highest RID to take effect when determining user marker.
* Rewrote the admin interface.
* Rolled a bunch of variables together (update provided).
* Don't hide content types that do not have location capability, mark them as being so instead.
* LOADS of cleanup.

Added:
* AHAH callbacks for the info windows, drastically reducing page size and increasing speed.
* You can now specify a page footer as well as a page header.
* hook_node_type implemented, the marker settings will honor renames of node types, and will clean up after itself.
* Uninstall hook added (not quite finished)

Todo:
* Figure out how to fix the OG behavior for content types with the node type other than 'og'.
* Ensure I didn't screw up anything else.
* Look through the block section (I didn't get around to touching it yet)
* Finish the uninstall hook (variables from the block section aren't cleaned up yet)

I'd like to see this get in, anything much to be done with testing? If I get a chance later this week I'll try to apply it on a test site and at least see how much difference it makes to my node map which was crawling before.

OK, to make the transition easier, I decided to split out the users coordinates stuff so it lives in a temporary module. That means I can get the rewrite finished even without location's help.

bdragon: I'm very interested in

Just applied this, very nice. My node map is showing forum topics instead of the actual geocoded nodes (of a different type) though. Needs a re-roll for teaser.js as well so setting to needs work.

Also - would it be possible for the release with this in to be a point release so that update status can monitor all the good work you're doing?

All of the speed related changes should now have been copied into CVS. The user map should now have the speed benefits, as of the next snapshot.
