Re: [geolocation-api] Change text for description of GeolocationPositionError.message attribute (#50)

As @aphillips mentioned above, we have the STRING-META and BP-I18N-SPECDEV documents for generalized solutions and guidance to this particular i18n problem - with the aim to push a solution to WebIDL, which is the spec that governs `DOMException`s and the `.message`s that goes with those exceptions. 

Geolocation is unfortunate in its legacy design, in that it uses its own error handling system. Remember, this was designed over a decade ago, and it seemed like a good idea at the time!... same with Indexed DB... we know better now. 

Pie in the sky idea right now but... if we do end up revising how Geolocation works (e.g., by turn it into a Promise-returning API), then we can address these problem fully at that time.
