Description

With the latest updates it is now impossible to use NLP apps.

Previously it was possible to use any app of choice, like LocalGsmNlpBackend - AppleWifiNlpBackend - MozillaNlpBackend - NominatimGeocoderBackend - DejaVu - Local NLP Backend, now it's impossible to use them and it's a problem because microg doesn't have all the features these apps have (e.g. offline databases, like LocalGsmNlpBackend).

Please allow to use third party apps again.
