[Feature] Location cluster #32719

Feature description

There is a need for nodes to know their geographical location. For example a node with a screen which displays weather reports. I would propose using 6 decimal place longitude and latitude. 6 digits is 111mm accuracy. Using high accuracy locations plans for a future where indoor positioning is a mature technology. Might want to include an optional elevation too. The low accuracy location is easily set by using the phone's GPS during setup. This info should be visible cross fabric.

This seems like a spec request, not an SDK request.
