Initial release of flutter_live_location.

Features

• Real-time location updates via a simple broadcast stream — foreground and background.
• Configurable LocationConfig with time interval, accuracy level, and background toggle.
• Five accuracy levels: lowest, low, medium, high, best.
• Auto-stop timer: tracking stops automatically after the duration passed to startLocationUpdates.
• Last known location cache via LiveLocation.instance.lastKnownLocation.
• Debug-mode logs for tracking start, stop, and permission-denied events.

Android

• Uses FusedLocationProviderClient for battery-efficient location.
• Foreground service with a persistent notification for background tracking (Android 8+).
• Handles ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION (Android 10+), FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION (Android 12+), and POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+).
• WakeLock management to prevent CPU sleep during active tracking.

iOS

• Uses CLLocationManager for location updates.
• Background location mode support with allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates.
• Significant-change mode support for low-power background awareness.
• Retain-cycle-safe delegate via weak references.

Error handling

Nine typed exceptions: LocationPermissionException, LocationServiceDisabledException, LocationInitializationException, LocationAlreadyInitializedException, LocationNotInitializedException, LocationDisposedException, LocationConfigurationException, LocationPlatformException, LocationPlatformNotSupportedException.
