stopping GPS after clearWatch
re: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-509
How do you guys handle this under other platforms?
Right now there's no way to stop the location on iOS since with the
start of cordova-js the stop function was taken out. We really need
this functionality in iOS (stop). Right now clearWatch is all
javascript, but it clearly needs to signal to native to stop the GPS.

Sounds swell, 1.7.0 target right? I made a quick plugin for the
existing devs that really really need to save battery in the interim.

Yeh here's the native change on iOS.
Essentially whenever a getCurrent or watch call comes into native, we
store the callback id. We check if that's the first request, if so, native
will call a private "start" method.
Then whenever we get a native geo update, we sent the data back to web
view, clear all getCurrent callback ids, and if we have no more stored
callback ids, we call private "stop" method.
I've got android lined up with that exact impl. as well.

Fil has a branch that rewrites location. I think that will address this.
