Bug Description

Some Android GPS HAL implementations seem to have an issue with multiple start/stop attempts if they are already running/stopped. The subsequent behavior is undefined and results in bugs that are difficult to track/identify/trace back to
the misbehaving HAL. With that, the gps provider implementation should ensure correct behavior.

  * Prevent multiple invocations of start positioning on android GPS HAL
    to prevent buggy HAL implementations from blocking. Allow for
    decorated provider names to enable moving providers OOP. (LP:
