Onboarding > Use web service to get location (instead of permission)

[mmathieum]

As a new app user opening the app for the 1st time, I want to see suggested nearby agency w/o having to grant location permission

Only 1 request during the 1st launch if no module installed -> cache the result forever (only use for nearby modules).
