drop the concept of "cities" from the app #147

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

- remove all references to cityid (and send back geolat/geolong instead)

- as a good practice, pass a geolat/geolong pair for every call to the api

- remove all city methods (switchcity, checkcity): this will be
automatically done based on the geolat/geolong pair you pass for each call

- when adding venues, make sure to:
-- pass in (at very minimum): geolat/geolong
-- make all fields except venuename optional

if anything, this will make your code much simpler :)

things to look out for:

without cityid, /checkins will return full checkin history (without
filtering by city first). you should use the <distance> field in each
<checkin> object to sort your checkin history list. as good practice: take
the closest checkins (within 20 miles) and split them up into chrono groups
("Last three hours", "Today", "Yesterday", "Older") and then take the rest
of the list and put it into a "Friends in other cities" bucket
