Description
When creating a mapboxgl.GeolocateControl, adding the map and adding a event listener the geolocate callback sends the geolocate object instead of the navigator Geo object.
Example
geoTracking = new mapboxgl.GeolocateControl({
positionOptions: {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
timeout: 1000
},
trackUserLocation: true,
showUserHeading: true,
showUserLocation: true,
trackUserLocation: true,
});
map.addControl(geoTracking, 'bottom-right');
geoTracking.on('geolocate', (y) => {
//y is not the a GeolocationPosition like https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/markers/#geolocatecontrol.event:geolocate
//instead y is the geolocate event
});

Reproduce the behavior using the example in the issue, then verify that the callback receives the navigator GeolocationPosition rather than the geolocate event object.
