Description

The idea is that the capture location and drop pin tasks would be combined into a single "Add a point" task, with an option set by the organizer to "Capture data collector's GPS location" or "Allow data collectors to use their GPS location or to place a point anywhere on the map"

Details:

* The location lock will be on by default when the task is first opened.
* If `true`, the user can pan the map to disengage location location (current behavior of "Drop pin").
* If `false`, the location lock will be disabled, and the cannot pan/zoom the map (current behavior of "Capture location").
* The tooltip will be the same as it currently is for "Drop pin", but when location lock is on will also show info shown in "Capture location" task.
