[Feature request] Use location to gather the closest server available #10

A very important feature for this app would be to automatically gather the closest server available. This could be done through gathering the user's location, specially using the proper desktop portals (so the user gets a prompt asking for location usage).

Right now, that's not really possible. This app uses librespeed.org as a backend, which doesn't provide the cordinates of their servers, instead it sorts them based on their ping, which is what my app does too.
