By updating native android geolocation lib to latest version 2.1.0 Unlike in Capacitor plugin, we don't really have need to support `interval` parameter here, because the OutSystems plugin will have the same behavior as before.

Description
Now the plugin has native timeout for
watchPositionon Android -> By updating native android geolocation lib to latest version 2.1.0.This aligns the behavior with
getCurrentPositionon Android, and also with iOS (recently addressed in a separate PR)Unlike in Capacitor plugin, we don't really have need to support
intervalparameter here, because the OutSystems plugin will have the same behavior as before; the difference being that for apps using this version of the plugin, the timeout is now handled on native side instead of in JavaScript wrapper layer.Context

Tests
Can use the "Location Sample App" for Android on both O11 and ODC.
Now if you perform a
watchPositionand wait a number of seconds >timeoutto grant location permission, it will no longer timeout instantly, because the timeout does not run on JS anymore, but rather natively after permission request.
