Add home GPS coordinates to device tracker #479

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A Bermuda's device tracker only provides information whether a user is home/not home, but no GPS coordinates. When assigned to a user, this information is then passed to User's entity. The map card then cannot show my user on the map (in home zone) because of the missing coordinates.

Describe the solution you'd like
When Bermuda's device tracker entity is in "home" state, it will have defined GPS coordinates attributes that will be identical to GPS coordinates of Home zone.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Since map view is important to me (even when users are home), the only solution I found to get my users on the map was not using Bermuda's device trackers.

Additional context
Just to be clear, I'm not requesting GPS coordinates when the tracked device is outside of home - that's of course impossible.

Would be even more awesome to have areas belong to zones, and thus have an "outdoor" (zones) and "indoor" (area or more precise) positioning.

I think by default devic_trackers in home zone are not shown on map, I thought theres a setting to change that. Not sure adding home-zone coordinates would solve this.

@tbrasser Device trackers in home zone are shown on the map, assuming they also have GPS coordinates.

Ah, this changed recently: home-assistant/frontend#24198

Seems weird to me that device trackers in the home zone don't automatically inherit that zone's coordinates. Maybe adding them indeed is an "easy fix".

(Still, some relation between area/bermuda and zones/coordinates would be nice)
