Allow iOS background updates when terminated

[zwells]

This PR enables the ability for the app to be woken up and trigger the callback even when terminated once iOS detects a significant location change (200 - 500 meters). Tested and working.

Is this going to be merged? It would be nice to have it in the main branch.

While I can merge it, I'm sorta unsure what to do with the limited time that I have (see my comments in #188). The volume of conversation happening on issues and PRs on this repo makes me suspect there's a fairly large userbase of this library (since typically only a small minority ends up speaking up in issues and PRs like this), which makes me hesitant to blindly merge stuff for fear of breaking things. This is especially true since I don't really use this library anymore and dont really have a great testing setup that would allow me to efficiently validate PRs to the level of quality this community probably expects. In all honestly I largely just wanted to step in to help since it seemed like @Almoullim is also in a similar position of not having time.

If there were something like automated test cases that had good coverage or like a detailed/step by step testing methodology that interested community members could run and post comments verifying that it works for them, that would definitely give me more confidence that things aren't going to break by merging PRs.

I'm sorry I don't have better news - as far as i can tell this repo has been on maintainership life support for a while

Can say only for myself: actually I wouldn't consider myself as a part of this user base. I'm only building my first iOS PoC for a side project and I'm not a mobile/flutter dev at all. But why I asked: apparently I need this feature, but there is simply no flutter package for geolocation which could handle background updates well (I've tried flutter-location, geolocator and had a look on a few others).

In context of this PR: I already made a fork and added this and a few other changes to the package. So if this package is unmaintained then I don't care if this particular change would be merged or not.

P.S. Maybe it's worth updating readme file and adding a note that the package isn't actively maintained and add a reference to #188.
