### Describe the bug

`amplify add geo` created an `aws-exports.js` that looks like:

```javascript
/* eslint-disable */
// WARNING: DO NOT EDIT. This file is automatically generated by AWS Amplify. It will be overwritten.

const awsmobile = {
"aws_project_region": "us-west-2",
"aws_cognito_identity_pool_id": "",
"aws_cognito_region": "us-west-2",
"aws_user_pools_id": "",
"aws_user_pools_web_client_id": "",
"oauth": {},
"aws_cognito_login_mechanisms": [
"PREFERRED_USERNAME"
],
"aws_cognito_signup_attributes": [
"EMAIL"
],
"aws_cognito_mfa_configuration": "OFF",
"aws_cognito_mfa_types": [
"SMS"
],
"aws_cognito_password_protection_settings": {
"passwordPolicyMinLength": 8,
"passwordPolicyCharacters": []
},
"aws_cognito_verification_mechanisms": [
"EMAIL"
],
"geo": {
"amazon_location_service": {
"maps": {
"items": {
"maplibrereact-dev": {
"style": "VectorEsriStreets"
}
},
"default": "maplibrereact-dev"
},
"region": "us-west-2"
}
}
};

export default awsmobile;
```

The `geo` section does not match what's [documented](https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/geo/existing-resources/q/platform/js/#authorization-permissions), which is a key named `AmazonLocationService`.

While this appears to work (yay backward-compatibility), this is confusing and threw me for a loop.

### Expected behavior

`amplify add geo` should create a section that looks like:

```javascript
{
// ...
"geo": {
"AmazonLocationService": {
// ...
}
}
}
```

### Reproduction steps

1. run `amplify add geo` with defaults
