Clarify that tracking ISP data requires Provider plugin #16712

Description

@sgiehl

As of Matomo 4 the Provider plugin is no longer part of core. Even though we still ship it together, the plugin is deactivated by default.

In the Geolocation admin it is always possible to configure an ISP database. But actually the ISP/ORG information gathered through that database will only be stored if the Provider plugin has been installed (e.g. the location_provider column exists) and won't be shown unless it is activated.

We should disable that field if the plugin isn't activated and add a note that the Provider plugin is required in order to use an ISP database.

Also we might need to check if it doesn't make any further problems that a dimension in core exists that requires a column that is installed by a plugin. Maybe it would be better to move those parts to the Provider plugin
