Errors on Office.context.mailbox.item.location.setAsync

[jean-wujingyi]

For newUI of Outlook desktop version, when I open a new meeting event and inject Room info on location field first, then try to using addin to inject meeting link to location field, the location field could not spilt Room info and meeting link correctly. It been used semicolon before but seems invalid now.

And for web version of Outlook, it will lose Room tag and changed to a normal location if I just using Office.context.mailbox.item.location.setAsync function to set what I get from Office.context.mailbox.item.location.getAsync function

These issues happened recently, and other products（like Zoom） on Add-ins Store has similar problems. Could anyone help to have a look with it?

Since this is an issue with the JavaScript API (instead of the documentation), I'm going to transfer this to the office-js repo.
