feat(geolocation)!: migrate to @nativescript-community/perms v3

perms v3 changed `check()`/`request()` to resolve to a `Status` string
instead of the v2 `[Status, boolean]` tuple, and renamed the location
`type: 'always'` option to `background: true`.

Under v3 the old tuple reads silently degraded rather than failing:
`authorizedStatus.includes(accessFine[0])` tested the first *character*
of the status string, so `isEnabled()` always resolved false.

BREAKING CHANGE: requires @nativescript-community/perms v3. Apps pinning
perms v2 must upgrade alongside this release.
