API Request - functions that allow an app to specify the start and end of an activity

This would solve this issue: https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-7-series/308450/bug-long-press-back-button-issue-still-not-fixed-in-fw9-33 and https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/epix-2/334122/bug---epix2-marq2-f7-long-press-of-back-button-from-an-app-does-not-terminate-it-properly-when-no-activity-is-running#pifragment-1292=1

If an app is not running an activity then a long press back should terminate it so that if long press back is set to "show watch face" the Back and Start buttons function consistently with builtin apps that do not start activities, like Maps and all built-in glances.

    Anyway, given that:

    - "CIQ apps which record an activity" are a subset of "CIQ apps which track an activity"

    - Garmin previously applied different behavior when a CIQ app was recording vs when it was not (the previous behavior is what you wanted)

    It seems that the first step would be to roll back to the previous behavior before making any API changes. But somehow I doubt that will happen.
