ns tries to connect to Google Analytics even when statistics collection permission is denied

[unikitty37]

Issue Description

When I say "no" to anonymous statistics collection on first run, ns still tries to make a connection to google-analytics.com.

I would not expect any connection to be made to an analytics company when I have denied permission for the program to do so.

(I also think the prompt should say who you are using for analytics — I would probably say "yes" to a self-hosted solution, but "no" to Google, as the data is almost certainly anonymous to you, but not to them. There is, after all, a reason they're letting you use Analytics for free — and the price is my data :)

Reproduction

1. Install a connection monitoring program like Little Snitch, and configure it to ask permission for each connection.
2. npm i -g nativescript
3. ns
4. Answer n to the anonymous statistics prompt.
5. Little Snitch will prompt for permission to connect to various sites; one of these will be google-analytics.com.

I believe this is "working as intended" based on the code here:

nativescript-cli/lib/services/analytics/analytics-service.ts

Lines 72 to 81 in eb91801

	const message = `Do you want to help us improve ${this.$analyticsSettingsService.getClientName()} by automatically sending anonymous usage statistics? We will not use this information to identify or contact you.`;
	trackFeatureUsage = await this.$prompter.confirm(message, () => true);
	await this.setStatus(
	this.$staticConfig.TRACK_FEATURE_USAGE_SETTING_NAME,
	trackFeatureUsage
	);
	await this.trackAcceptFeatureUsage({
	acceptTrackFeatureUsage: trackFeatureUsage,
	});

However I do agree, if the answer is n/no then nothing should be tracked at all, so I'm marking it as a bug.

If I understand the code correctly, it only sends a single event with the no choice after which no further events are ever sent (hopefully).
