Automatic requests using `PermissionsAndroid` should allow the ability to be skipped.

[ttahmouch]

I previously filed defect 18305 to ensure that the documentation reflects the reality of the implementation.

I also noticed that iOS has the ability to skip requests for user permissions (more specifically in the case of Geolocation).

There could probably be a use case for a boolean to toggle automatic requests for user permissions within this code.

It appears that defect 15096, regarding allowing skipping of permission prompts in iOS, made the assumption that React Native Android's Geolocation module already requires apps to request permissions on their own in July 2017. However, the change to automatically request permissions was introduced before then as noted in #18305 .
