Summary:
Current Geolocation API docs do not mention using PermissionAndroid when working with API 23+. This updates the docs to reflect that requirement.
This a documentation change, so no testing is required.

Summary:
This change enables developers to tell the Geolocation module to skip its permissions requests so the app can manage the permissions requests on its own. React Native Android's Geolocation module already requires apps to request permissions on their own.
Currently, the Geolocation module automatically makes permissions requests for you based on what you've specified in your property list file. However, the property list file doesn't always represent what permissions the app wants right now. For example, suppose an app sometimes wants location when "in use" and sometimes wants location "always" depending on what app features the user has engaged with. The Geolocation API will request the "always" location permission even if that's not what the app wants for the current scenario.
This change enables developers to tell the Geolocation module to skip permission requests so that the app can explicitly ask for the appropriate permissions. By default, Geolocation will still ask for permissions so this is not a breaking change.
This change adds a method to Geolocation that is not supported by the web spec for geolocation (`setRNConfiguration`). This method includes `RN` in the name to minimize the chances that the web spec will introduce an API with the same name.
**Test plan (required)**
Verified that Geolocation requests permissions by default and when `skipPermissionRequests` is `false`. Verified the permission requests are skipped when `skipPermissionRequests` is `true`. Also, my team is using this change in our app.

Summary:
In the yet-to-be-released iOS 11, Apple has changed the way they notify the user of location services. (You can watch their session from WWDC about all the changes [here](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/713/).)
The current implementation of `RCTLocationObserver` uses the standard location services from Apple. When the user has granted `Always` location permission and the application uses the background location service, the user is presented with the *_Blue Bar of Shame_* (for more information check out [this blog post](https://blog.set.gl/ios-11-location-permissions-and-avoiding-the-blue-bar-of-shame-1cee6cd93bbe)):
* Added `useSignificantChanges` boolean to the options passed.
* Added `_usingSignificantChanges` boolean based on user options. If `true`, then the CLLocationManager will use functions `startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges`/ `stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges` rather than the standard location services.
* Changed method signature of `beginLocationUpdatesWithDesiredAccuracy` to include `useSignificantChanges` flag
* Added check for new `NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription`
All unit tests passed.
Tested in simulator and on device, toggling `useSignificantChanges` option when calling `watchPosition`. Results were as expected. **When `TRUE`, the _Blue Bar of Shame_ was not present.**
Changes do not affect Android and location services still work as expected on Android.
* Change is for iOS only
* Using a different API will have different accuracy results. Adding `useSignificantChanges` as an option was by design so apps that want to have most accurate and most frequent update can still use standard location services.

My app crashed when I call navigator.geolocation.stopObserving(). I found it is caused by the reason that one argument short. So I added false to the first argument. Then bug is fixed.
1. call both navigator.geolocation.watchPosition and navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
2. then call navigator.geolocation.stopObserving()
3. error happened before I fixed, and correct Warning "Called stopObserving with existing subscriptions." shown after I fixed.

Summary:
Set the flag 'allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates' to YES if the location background mode is enabled and the 'Always Allow Location' key is set in the App Plist.
**motivation**
We found that on iOS 9.x, the allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates flag must be set on location manager in order to receive updates when the app is in the background (seems to affect actual device only).
**Test plan (required)**
Example app using the forked branch [here](https://github.com/briancalvium/react-native-geolocation-pr-example). Run this example through XCode on a device with 9.x, observe that location update logs continue to appear when the app is in the background. Switch to react native 0.32.0, observe that location update logs stop once the app is in the background.

Summary:
Since API 18, Android locations have had the `isFromMockProvider()` function, to verify the validity of a provided location. This was one of many methods one could verify location data, but as of Marshmallow, the other ways of detecting if "Mock Locations" is on in developer settings has been deprecated or defunct.
This means some devices can only detect location mocking by exposing the method on the location object.
This change provides that exposure.

Summary:
Explain that, unlike other APIs, geolocation follows the browser spec and is exposed through `navigator.geolocation` rather than as an `react-native` export.
This can be inferred from the example code but isn't otherwise stated in the docs. See also https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/9793

Summary:
My original implementation involved creating a `RCT_ENUM_CONVERTER` with `CLLocationAccuracy` on iOS and a Hashmap on Android that would convert `string` values to `doubles` for distance filtering.
I got this to work just fine but realized that I made things more complicated than they needed to be and simplified everything by just have the option be a decimal value (in meters) that works both for iOS and Android.
The only thing i'm not sure about is if we can set arbitrary values for CLLocationManager's distance filter.
