Android API >= 23 should, but does NOT, require an additional step to request the `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` permission.

According the the documentation found here,

Android API >= 23 Requires an additional step to check for, and request the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission using the PermissionsAndroid API. Failure to do so may result in a hard crash.

However, in actual usage of the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() API, it does not actually require that the permission is requested from the user. It automatically requests the user's permission for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. The code that reflects this change can be found here.

Here is the commit that introduced the change.

Should the documentation reflect reality?
