Additional indicators for microphone / camera / location use #439

Problem

I think it would be very useful to see whether the microphone / camera / location is accessed by any app as an indicator.

Proposal

Extend the indicators so that a camera / microphone / location symbol is shown when any app is accessing the camera / microphone / location.

Prior Art (Optional)

On Android 12 there is an tiny green bubble in the top right corner and when you pull down the top menu a green microphone / camera / location symbol is shown. (--> https://therecord.media/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/camera-indicators.png)

Microphone access is already implemented in the sound indicator; the other proposals are already covered by the privacy indicator which has not yet been included in elementary OS, but could be in the future.
