Overview
Add recording functionality to the Trace Path feature.

Use Cases

Save stats: A hiker goes on a hike and wants to record the trails they took, the amount of time it took, and elevation changes during that time. They start recording when at the beginning, and at the end stop the recording and that is when the track is saved to a list in Favorites.
Share: A cyclist takes a certain bike trail and wants to share it with his friends. After recording and saving the track, he exports it and sends it, which can then be used in OM or other apps. An OSM contributor is mapping new ground to be contributed to the community. They record the track and export the file into OSM.
Mark Locations Along Track: Record track and mark favorite places along the track.

Problem Statement
The absence of functionality to record means that people have to use other apps to record, and can only use Organic Maps to view paths/tracks. This severely limits the extent to which OM can be used, and requires many additional steps for importing.

Criteria
Initiating

The 'Record Path' feature is initiated from the Main Menu, in place of the 'Trace Path' button.
When the recording starts, change the icon to an icon that indicates recording is active and can be stopped. Show in red.
When recording starts, a status bar displays on the main screen, at the top right, showing that recording is active. A Stop button is also shown.

In Progress

The first and second times when this feature is initiated, display a message explaining the feature:
- Length of time display (TBD): If screen is not tapped, the message should display for 30 seconds and then disappear. If screen is tapped, it can disappear in 10 seconds.
- Message text:

"Record Track activated
Record your path 
While recording, your path will display as a [ solid x color line ] on the map.  
Note: The app will use your location in the background, which will increase battery usage."

When recording is in progress, display the path on the map in red color, the same thickness as a regular track, and a thin black border around the track path.
When pressing the Stop button, initiate the Saving Track process, no confirmation.

Saving Path

To save a recorded path while recording is in progress, press the Stop button:
- Save the track to the "Recorded Tracks" list by default.
- Set a default name for the track with date and time.
- Display a toast or similar on screen with text "Track saved", and toast has a button named "Edit".
- When the Edit button is pressed, open the track in Edit mode where the name can be changed, list can be changed, etc.
