Description
When one tries to enable location sharing via Google+, the app crashes while trying to open an intent to com.google.android.gms.location.settings.LOCATION_SHARING. There are some legitimate reasons to support this feature within the user's restrictions and even if we should not support location sharing, GmsCore should contain some fallback code, which at least prevents crashing in case one tries to access the location sharing settings.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash when Google+ opens the com.google.android.gms.location.settings.LOCATION_SHARING intent and trace the corresponding GmsCore handling. Determine the supported behavior under user restrictions; done means the location-sharing request no longer crashes and has an appropriate fallback.
