CB-8826 [iOS 8+] Request WhenInUse permission before Always permission
First reported here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8826
Currently the plugin asks for background location first if
`NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription` is in place along with
`NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription`. Given the current plugin functionality,
this is unnecessary and privacy wise disturbing to user.
Apple documentation:
> Requesting âAlwaysâ authorization is discouraged because of the
potential negative impacts to user privacy. You should request this level of
authorization only when doing so offers a genuine benefit to the user.
This commit allows other plugins to request background permission
separately.
