   ### Platforms affected
   iOS
   
   
   
   ### Motivation and Context
   <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
   <!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
   As outlined in #230, the plugin is sometimes causing app crashes on iOS 14 
because one of the values being extracted from the native location object has 
an infinite value and therefore an exception is raised when trying to extract 
the values and transform then into a JSON object.
   
   
   ### Description
   <!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
   Check the `NSMutableDictionary` constructed from the native `CLLocation` 
data is valid for conversion to JSON using 
[`isValidJSONObject`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsjsonserialization/1418461-isvalidjsonobject?language=objc)
 before attempting conversion.
   
   
   ### Testing
   <!-- Please describe in detail how you tested your changes. -->
   As outlined in #230, I'm not certain exactly which value retrieved from the 
`CLLocation` object is `INFINITY` because the stack trace from the crash only 
points to the line where the conversion to JSON is attempted but doesn't 
actually indicate which field in the `NSMutableDictionary` contains the 
`INFINITE` value.
   
   However, the issue can be artificially reproduced by setting one of the 
values to `INFINITY` before the conversion is made, e.g. on [line 293 of 
`CDVLocation.m`](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/blob/master/src/ios/CDVLocation.m#L293):
   
   ```
   [returnInfo setObject:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:INFINITY] 
forKey@"timestamp"];
   ```
   
   Without the changes this PR makes, the above will cause an app crash.
   With the changes this PR makes, the plugin will return a 
`POSITIONUNAVAILABLE` error and the app will not crash.
