Help Wanted: Fully remove Google Play Services and GCM(Google Cloud Messaging) from app

[OliverParoczai]

The title says it all. We are going to use MQTT instead of GCM for notifications, so we can remove them. Also, this is essential for getting the app into the F-Droid store.

Hey! For now, yeah. We have someone working on the MQTT implementation, so we just need to remove the GCM one.
