1886512 - [meta] Support "emulation.setGeolocationOverride" command

Status: NEW

(Remote Protocol :: WebDriver BiDi, task)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

This is a P2 requirement for puppeteer, and currently blocks at least 1 test from the puppeteer test suite.
The specification work has not started, and the discussion is happening over at https://github.com/w3c/webdriver-bidi/issues/343

The corresponding puppeteer API is Page.setGeolocation and accepts a geolocationOptions argument to set accuracy (optional), latitude and longitude.

The goal is to add a new command to emulate geolocation, but it's not clear yet what should be the exact behavior and in which module this command should be created.

Note, this is one of the features which is being patched manually by Playwright (juggler) at https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/browser_patches/firefox/patches/bootstrap.diff

I assume this should have been created as a meta given that it blocks the WebDriver BiDi meta bug. We can update the summary once the module and command name is clear.

Note that this is something we'd like to have in DevTools too (see Bug 1069882 and Bug 1299950)
