What this changes

Fixes #146 by differentiating geolocation failures and making the resulting errors accessible to screen readers.

Permission-denied errors now explain how to enable location access, while timeout and unavailable-position errors provide distinct retry guidance.

Both the desktop Near Me control and mobile Near Me FAB expose their error messages to assistive technology.
