mdg:geolocation ~ position won't be watched / asked again after error

[lorensr]

I can reproduce this bug. To replicate, eg on Android:

• Turn off system GPS
• Open app
• Turn on system GPS
• Return to app, currentLocation() does not update
• Quit and reopen app, currentLocation() gives location

It would be preferable if this package picks up on the fact that the permissions changed and it can now access GPS.

@lorensr in case you need a quickfix, it's pretty simple to roll your own "geolocation api", in my case i preferred to have it as an event emitter and just call "start" when i actually need to ask for permissions.

( this came straight from my app code, so you need to tweak a couple of things.. )

Okay, so solution is to repeat the watchPosition call on a timer.

@lorensr i believe so, my solution isn't 100% ideal as well, but it did the job of asking permissions again if you go change your settings and come back to the app.

need some fine tuning though, once i make sure it's 100% i'll do a pull request
