Stealing this bug back from pierlux, who says he has no time to work on it.

horizontal-error-m should now be renamed to accuracy as per XEP-0080 v1.6.

vertical-error-m does not exist in the XEP, but we could now call it
vertical-accuracy without too much fear of conflict. Perhaps we could get that
key into the XEP? It's our binding for Geoclue's geoclue_accuracy_get_detailed
@vertical_accuracy. Alternatively, we could just leave it out for the moment.

climb does not exist in the XEP; similar situation. It's our binding for
Geoclue's GEOCLUE_VELOCITY_FIELDS_CLIMB. Alternatively, we could just leave it
out for the moment.

This is related to Bug #19585. We could leave this out for now, too.
