Description
This is up for discussion, but we could optionally allow to specify a geographic location on a group, so that as soon as the group is assigned to a device, the location is automatically assigned too.
Combined with the template groups feature, this allows to specify configurations that are specific to locations.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing group-to-device assignment flow and the template groups implementation. Determine how a geographic location would be stored on a group and propagated when the group is assigned to a device. Done should include an agreed design and behavior for location-specific configurations, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
