Title:
  location-service should return the correct error source

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in qtubuntu-sensors package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
