The Legacy location is used by nwamd as a repository for configuration data
that existed on startup and may be overwritten in the course of nwam operation;
the data is saved on startup, restored (to the filesystem) and removed (from
the repository) on shutdown.
As such, it should not be modified by the user; nor should it ever be activated
during normal nwam operation. So it's really just confusing to display it in
status output.
On the other hand, nwam does need to be able to modify it internally.
Simply omitting it from the list of locations returned by nwam_walk_locs()
should work to prevent it from showing up in nwamcfg and nwamadm output, but
still allow it to be explicitly changed by nwamd or the network/location method
script, as they will invoke commands that read()/commit()/destroy() it
explicitly.
