incrementally numbered waypoints

[icrf2000]

Should address issue #82.

A new button (type="incwp") which generates incrementally numbered waypoints. The format of the waypoint text is by default "WPT_0000", "WPT_0001"... The user can specify a different format in the button layout XML file if desired.

Hi! Thanks again for your contribution @icrf2000
This looks fine but the thing is that I'm not very sure whether the feature that is asked in #82 is to add a specific button which each time is pressed the app registers an incremental way-point or is to increment automatically each time any way-point is pressed.

A good question, actually something only @severinmenard can answer. My interpretation of the issue description was like your option one, a specific button. Means behavior of the existing button types is unchanged and a new one added which creates the incrementally numbered WPT's.

Actually my initial idea was a specific button but an automatic incremental waypoint count makes more sense and moreover will not affect the UI

My PR creates a new button type "incwp" (in addition to the existing ones like for example "voicerec", "picture", "textnote", "tag" etc.). One can place it on the GUI by customizing default_buttons_layout.xml. In the PR, there is a demo which looks like this:

Pressing the button creates waypoints named "WPT_0001", "WPT_0002",... (the prefix "WPT_" is configurable in default_buttons_layout.xml, so you could also name them e.g. "SURVEY_0001", "SURVEY_0002",... if you wanted). The counter is global, so if one starts a new track, the counting continues. There is a preference setting in the menu which allows to reset it to zero (or an arbitrary number).
