Android below 7.1 no longer supported (#6210)

In reality, support for Android versions below 7.1 has already been just on-paper for a while now,
as more and more issues with old Androids have been popping up lately that cannot be fixed on our
side. Luckily, it seems that >99.6% of app users already use Android 7.1 and above. (See #6210)

Main screen improvements (#6213)

Cleaned up the appearance of the main screen a bit:

• Merged the +/- buttons into one button, not shown by default, it's a setting. By the way, you can also zoom with one finger by double-tapping, then moving the finger up or down. This works in any app in which you can zoom, actually.
• The upload button is now in the main menu
• The pointer pin button moves more smoothly (in an ellipsis near the screen border)
• Added a scale bar on the lower right (Show scale (i.e. real-life distances) on the map #5765)
• Replaced the static map attribution text with an info button

New overlays

• MTB difficulty: Add the difficulty ratings for mountainbike trails (Ask for MTB difficulty for paths #1850, Feature #1850: Add Overlay mtb:scale #5726), thanks @RubenKelevra and @ravenfield. It is disabled by default because you need to be a domain expert to accurately record this data. (Feature: Disable overlays #6226)

New quests

• "Are gluten-free products offered here?", disabled by default ("Does it offer gluten free food?" Quest #3031, implement Gluten-free quest #6143), by @mnalis

Quest and Overlay improvements

• Opening hours: Fix semantic issue when specifying off-days at the top (opening_hours ordering wrong #6191)
• Surfaces: Fix surface was asked twice when a generic surface was selected (SC asking for surface type twice  #6172)
• Smoothness: Don't ask if surface is still correct just after specifying the surface smoothness (Smoothness quest should update check_date:surface #6178)
• Baby changing tables: Ask at more places (Baby Changing Tables: Ask on more POIs #6167), by @agent-redd
• Sidewalk overlay: Align which roads are selectable with the bike paths overlay, for consistency (Allow Sidewalk overlay on wider range of highways (like a Cycleway overlay) #6185), by @mnalis
• Roadwork: Also ask whether minor roadwork (i.e. construction without full road closure) is completed (Expansion of construction quest to construction=minor #6090)
• Various: Ask about more features of alpine and wilderness huts (add tourism=alpine_hut in vegetarian and vegan quest #6200, Ask camp shower quest also for alpine huts #6201), thanks @tiptoptom
• Building levels: Prettified input form a bit (Moving the Building Levels quest form to Jetpack Compose. #6022), by @GaeaKat
• Other small things (Update "Bicycle type" Quest hint to explain what to do with wheelbenders #6209, parking - skip (few more) detailed vehicles types #6216, update icon for street name quest /2 #6217…), thanks @mnalis

General Improvements

• Performance improvements on upload and download (stream parse XML #6150) as well as significantly decreased data download size (OSM API communication: Request and handle HTTP compression (gzip, ...) #6218)
• Performance improvements in the quest selection screen (Move quest filtering logic to ViewModel #6205), by @irakliy01
• Added a few new links to unlock via achievements. Newly added links do not unlock silently for old users anymore (No silent link unlocks #6220)
• Render parks and playgrounds with an outline (Display playgrounds on the map #6221), by @doniks
