Browser to ignore global geo switch if PH off

Browser should ignore the cros global geolocation switch if the
PrivacyHub feature is off. If it does not, users may find themselves in
a state where the geolocation is disabled and they have no easy way to
re-enable it.

This patch implements this fully in Ash.
For Lacros we disable the geolocation switch in browser entirely to fix
the user facing problem.
This is not a problem, because geolocation is planned only for a future
version of PrivacyHub, so if it stops working on Lacros, this will not
affect users (unless they use the experimental flag).
A proper fix will be implemented as a change to crosapi later.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
