Any existing value for `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription ` in the plist
gets overwritten with an empty string. This makes it harder to provide a custom
description (which is the purpose of the string, btw).
Don't know if the plugin facility allows, but if it could handle this
'softly', e.g. only add the key to the plist unless it already exists, that
would solve it.

> Key: CB-7754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7754
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugin Geolocation
> Environment: iOS
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah

> Priority: Minor
>
> Add NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription in Info.plist
> The reason why we don't add this by default is, not all devs need this
> capability, and including it by default might scare off their users.
> The previous plugin implementation (before iOS 8) only required foreground
> access, so that's why the current plugin only supports foreground access.
> The way to add this functionality is to add a sub-plugin in the same plugin,
> which only installs the required Info.plist key.
