Location is not able to be changed (i.e. PageInfo or Content Settings) on iOS

Project Member Reported by emilyschechter@chromium.org, Apr 17 2017

Issue description

Steps to repro:
1. Use iOS device
2. Go to google.com, search for something local like "pizza near me"
3. Get dialog asking to share location with google.com, accept
4. Try to change setting from PageInfo (it's not there)
5. Try to change setting from Content Settings (it's not there).

Is this a known issue?

Once you allow Chrome to use your location, you must
go to system settings to disallow Chrome to use your location.

Permissions are handled by the (WK)WebView, so we have very little control.

It seems there are no records exposed for permissions by WKWebsiteDataRecord:

I haven't explored all of our options for permissions on iOS. Most permission-features aren't even implemented. We should look into it more at some point.

WKWebView does not allow to control this:
