iOS module implementation

See original GitHub issue

Hello guys, due to the pandemic I’ve some free time now. So I decided to learn a little bit of swift and try to implement my own geolocation module for iOS. I’ll be updating this thread as I implement features one by one. You can track the progress here.

Background location update

API Changes

setRNConfiguration (deprecated) Currently it has two options skipPermissionRequests & authorizationLevel. Both of them will become unused because of the changes in requestAuthorization as described below.
async requestAuthorization(authorizationLevel) You must call this method with your desired permission level before requesting location, thus removing the necessity of skipPermissionRequests & authorizationLevel. Furthermore, this method now returns a promise which you can use to check the authorization status and take necessary actions.
```
const status = await Geolocation.requestAuthorization("whenInUse"); // or "always"
console.log(status); // "disabled", "granted", "denied", "restricted"
```
getCurrentPosition() Removed async keyword, since it’s not an async function. Also removed useSignificantChanges option cause it’s not needed for single location update.
