[recorder/feature request] Add the activity type #3800

Description

@truenicoco

It is very nice that the bike speedometer and run/run+ apps can trigger the recorder app, but it would be even nicer if the exported GPX contained the activity type. It's for instance <type>cycling</type> in the <trk> element.

This field is standard but unfortunately, the values it can take are arbitrary. We could use the values that FitoTrack use, this looks reasonable.

I guess this would require:

  • an API change for recorder so that apps that use it can specify the activity type
  • a change in the apps to use that new API parameter
  • a change in recorder internal storage format
  • a change in the recorder GPX exporter
