Public bug reported:

The Location of the user can fail for several reasons,
- User not allowing trust-store to give location access to an app
- GPS service being disabled by the user
- Random error

Upstream Qt PositionSource provides the sourceError property [1] that
allows apps to recognize this error type. At the moment ubuntu location-
service just returns AccessError for all purposes. Knowing the exact
type of error will immensely help apps recognize why it failed and keep
their user informed.
