Re: [ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

@ManuelB I fully acknowledge and accept your business requirements and use case.

Here is a similar one for you. I have students on Campus who want to see who from their coffee-club or study-group is on Campus. If there waiting for someone they want to receive a notification when the arrive. GeoLocation.watchPosition must be empowered to re-instantiate a SW that has been terminated.

The SW will interrogate the location change event before XHRing the information to a central server. It is the server that decides which GeoFences have been traveresed and, if so, which users need to receive a Notification.
 
Privacy and Security is handled as usual by the manifest triggering user approval at installation time. The individual Web App with also ask for tracking-permission when the user accepts individual group membership.
