Description
## New Feature
Make AddressAutofill, PlaceAutocomplete and SearchEngine (all dependent on LocationEngine) work without location permission.
## Why
In our app we want to make user's life easier by providing autocompletion, we are not interested in their location at that particular moment. After migration to MapBox SDK we have to respond to complains why autocompletion is not available without giving access to the location. And I think this concern is absolutely reasonable.

Research direction
Start by tracing how AddressAutofill, PlaceAutocomplete, and SearchEngine depend on LocationEngine and where location permission is required. Verify the behavior of each component without permission, then confirm that address autocompletion, place autocomplete, and search still work without access to the user's current location.
