Wind observation graphs

[gwicke]

For wind related sports, monitoring wind observations is usually very important. While current readings are the most important bit of information, and are already displayed well in the map & with more detail in more-overs and the station detail view, the wind history is currently only available as a very minimalist color coded bar. Example use cases:

• Planning: Judge the recent tendency, for example to follow a sea breeze build.
• Analysis: Check how windy a period was, for example after a kite or sailing session.

Proposal:

• Include a small graph of recent wind strengths in the station mouse-over. Example from ikitesurf:
  These quick graphs are very useful for the planning use case in particular, on desktop where mouse-over is supported.
• Expand the station view wind section into a graph. This is useful for planning on mobile (no mouse-over), and for analysis later. If space is a concern, then this could perhaps be a user preference, similar to the unit switch? A graph similar to what is used for air pressure would work great, with additional gust markers.
  Alternatively, have a separate more detailed view of station data that shows wind strengths as a graph.

@gwicke Thank you, we may consider some changes to stations detail.
