Leverage last position instead of showing whole Earth map when sharing location #18

Steps to reproduce

Note that the below right circle animation is for the loading as I guess.

Maybe a clearer one at the center like an alert would be more appropriate. Such a pop-up would automatically disappear once the phone is located.

The other persons see us at 0, 0 if we do not wait?

At least a message mentioning that do not know yet location would be better for both person sharing and persons looking.

In the light of Benjamin-Loison/termux-app/issues/25, the question is why waiting a few seconds on Earth map before actually zooming on last known location? If start sharing location, do the other person has the ability to know that the last location is very old, hence no up-to-date? Should at least warn if share this information as it may not be privacy friendly.
