use OSM as geoclue provider

The yahho geoclue (v1) api as provided by the geoclue-yahoo provider was
often broken and seems shut of lately (it always replies with the same error
message, even with the demo from yahoo).
This patch use nominatim (openstreepmap) instead as it is the closest with regards
to "accuracy" (ie street location). I did a geoname test though it does not geocode closer than zipcode/city (it can reverse geocode at the street level though). One might want to call one or the other as fallback.

I know nothing about this stuff, so if it works for you it works for me.

I've broken this into two separate commits for commit log clarity.

Fixed for Evolution 3.3.3:
