Description

Closes #26.

This adds a quick note to the README for why a background location access usage description is required by iOS even though background location isn't directly possible with this Capacitor plugin.

Open to suggestions for better wording/placement.

Context

I was a little confused when I received a warning email about this from Apple. It wasn't clear to me why I would have to add a description for something my app doesn't do, so I'm hoping makes things clearer for others. See #26.
