Description

*Summary:* Android Q introduces the following new "AndroidManifest.xml" permission... 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"/>
This permission is needed to collect "location" data while the app is in the background. This permission is not needed if the app is currently running a "foreground" service. https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/device-location#request-background-location *To Do:*

Verify what happens when collecting "location" data from Ti.Geolocation in a backgrounded Titanium app without this permission defined in the "AndroidManifest.xml". _(Should not crash. Should log an error instead.)_

Verify what happens when calling Ti.Geolocation.requestLocationPermissions() without the above ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and attempt to collection "location" data in the background.

Verify what happens when calling Ti.Android.requestPermissions() with both ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION defined... and the end-user taps "no" for backgrounding.

    Provided a detailed example for obtaining location in the background as part of: 8_3_X: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/11197 android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION is required for background location logging.
