Description

To reproduce

1. Run the sample code, make sure to add ti.map module to tiapp.xml 
var MapModule = require('ti.map');

var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : 'white'
});

Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');

window.title = 'Test';
window.backgroundColor = '#000';
window.exitOnClose = true;

window.add(MapModule.createView({
	userLocation : true
}));

window.open();

Actual result

No permission to use the user current location, no pin to display it.

    Since code is accepted, can we get a PR to merge this into the SDK?

    Open the tiapp.xml in the ios / plist / dict section add the below: 
       <ios>
          <plist>
              <dict>
                  <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
                  <string>Optional description here, can be empty</string>
              </dict>
          </plist>
      </ios>

    Has this issue been tested with the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription plist key? When I use that key the users location is still not showing up on the map. I get the prompt but the location is not shown on the map. 
       <ios>
      <plist>
          <dict>
              <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
              <string>Optional description here, can be empty</string>
          </dict>
      </plist>
   </ios>

    Found a solution to this where when using NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription the users location would not show up on the map. Please see the commit: https://github.com/TravisCrist/ti.map/commit/e0e8066195d11cf0f13a4843f1d3ed61ebb84cd4 for the fix. It requires a change to the map module. I am unsure how to make a PR with just that commit.

    Running some test based on Travis comment i have verified the issue with SDK 3.4.0.RC2 and Ti.Map module 2.0.3, when the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription plist key is used the permission is correctly prompted and we can correctly retrieve the user location with Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition but the map displayed in the app is not showing the blue marker for the user location, if we use the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription plist key the user location is correctly shown with the blue marker in the map tiSDK 3.4.0.RC2 tiMap 2.0.3 Xcode 6 iPhone 5s iOS 8

    Test Code

        var MapModule = require('ti.map');
     
    var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
        backgroundColor : 'white'
    });
     
    var mapview = MapModule.createView({
        userLocation : true
    });
    window.add(mapview);
    
    setTimeout(function(){
    	Ti.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition( function(e) {
      if (!e.success || e.error) {
        alert('error ' + JSON.stringify(e.error));
        return;
      }
      alert(e.coords.latitude + ' ' + e.coords.longitude);
      var region = {
        latitude: e.coords.latitude,
        longitude: e.coords.longitude,
        animate:true,
        latitudeDelta:0.05,
        longitudeDelta:0.05
      };
      mapview.setLocation(region);
    });
    },5000);
    
    window.open();
    tiApp.xml 
        <ios>
       <plist>
           <dict>
                   <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
