Re: [geolocation-sensor] Support geolocation (especially geofencing) in the "background" (#22)

@Sominemo Yes, but I'm claiming there's no compelling use-case for **initiating** location access in the background, \(or even for geofencing per se\), especially in a web app.

The only use-case I could find in this thread that even came close to either of these was \@kavdev's truck-tracker, but it sounds like his use-case requires constant access anyway to record the drives, so it's not a "true geofencing" use-case but could simply be implemented with application logic if we **merely** added the ability to extend foreground-acquired location access sessions as I propose.
