Accuracy: Read QR codes using Barcode API for play services app variant

[barbeau]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Current you can read geo: encoded lat/lon/alt values from QR Codes to set ground truth locations. This currently requires the installation of the Google Zxing barcode reader app. Some users don't trust outside apps, especially if they don't know the history of it.

Describe the solution you'd like For the play services variant, we can read QR codes directly within GPSTest using the Barcode API in Play Services: https://developers.google.com/vision/android/barcodes-overview

The F-droid variant can continue to use the external Zxing app.
