Once location reporting is started and an authorization prompt is presented, changes to the authorization level are not possible without updating the app in the App Store.

- Fixed iOS 8 push prompt on first-run and immediate opt-out.
- Fixed quiet time setting not persisting between application restarts.
- Added work around for iOS 8 registration bug where disabling push registering prevents registering for notification types without a device restart. Instead of registering for 0 notification types, the device will just be marked as opted-out. This only affects newer iOS 8 devices. For more information, see the documentation for allowUnregisteringUserNotificationTypes on UAPush.
- UA location is now compatible with iOS 8 authorization modes. If building against Xcode 6, make sure to add the new authorization keys (NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription) to the application's info.plist. You must also manually request the correct authorization before starting location on Urban Airship by calling either requestWhenInUseAuthorization or requestAlwaysAuthorization on CLLocationManager.
