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

@croraf  The issue in the athlete-tracking case is that, so to speak, “lack of affirmative consent is the point”.

There would be value in having the app automatically start tracking again immediately after a device reboot, to help get rid of the possibility of the athlete claiming **“oh, I just forgot”** to excuse a 30min+ absence after a device reboot. \(Whereas the truck driver will simply double-check the app is still running as part of the predeparture check, the user's unlikely to be manually rebooting a phone during a bike ride and merging multiple trips is no issue, etc.\)
