Some ideas, please comment:
- in Frame::transferChildToNewDocument, in the body of the  "if (didTransfer) {", extend the "if (oldPage != newPage)" body to include a call to a new method DOMWindow::geolocationPageChanged(oldPage) that will indirectly call a new method Geolocation::pageChanged(Page* oldPage).
- Geolocation::pageChanged(oldPage) will:
  - If the Geolocation is updating, subscribe to the new page's GeolocationController, unsubscribe from the old page's GeolocationController
  - If the Geolocation is awaiting permission, cancel permission on the old page's GeolocationController and request permission from the new page's GeolocationController

I think that there may be some subtleties involved with the above. We will want to avoid annoying the user with a permission request dialog disappearing and then reappearing.
