[Feature request] Allow customisation of ASSUME_NO_MOTION for adapt mode in LocationManager #893

Description

@kamaeff

Hi!
Love the approach of automatic switching between precise and significant/geofence tracking modes using adapt and +follow.

However I would like to tweak it for my needs. I walk fast. Almost always having speed less than 2 km/h (0.56 m/s) means I have already arrived to the destination point and just wander around the place. In that case OwnTracks app keeps receiving non-zero-speed GPS points, and that prevents it from adapting.

Would be nice to set "assume no motion" from the app settings.

less viable idea

Another approach I see (to meet my use cases) is to add an alternative "adapt" mode.
Said mode would check that all points received in the last N minutes are all inside a circular region of radius R. If they are, then it means the user has finished their movement, and the app can switch monitoring from move back to significant.
But this approach looks more expensive from computation and implementation standpoints while probably not giving much of a value.
