Document track colours in the wiki

Map-Features had no GPX section at all, so the tracks paragraph is new
rather than an addition.

## GPX tracks
Tracks and routes imported from a `.gpx`, `.kml`, or `.kmz` file are drawn as lines on the map. Each track imported into a trip is given its own colour automatically, so several walks in the same area stay distinguishable without any setup.
To change a track's colour, open the place and use the **Track color** row: pick one of the presets, choose your own with the colour picker, or hit the dashed cell to go back to the automatic colour — the category colour if the place has one, otherwise the default blue.
Any track that carries a colour — assigned at import or picked by you — is drawn with a thin white casing so it stays readable on satellite imagery and dark basemaps. Tracks imported before this version keep their previous look until you give them a colour.
Clicking a line on the map selects that track and opens its details — useful when the start markers are still clustered together. In the places list, each track shows a short stroke in the colour it is drawn in, which is how you tell which line belongs to which entry.
## Route time pills
At zoom level 12 or higher, small pill-shaped labels appear between consecutive places and show the estimated **walking time** and **driving time** for each segment. Below zoom 12 they are hidden to keep the map clean.

Drag a `.gpx`, `.kml`, or `.kmz` file onto the Places sidebar to import all waypoints or features at once. You can also import a saved-list share URL using the **Import list** button in the sidebar header — both Google Maps and Naver Maps list URLs are supported.
Imported tracks each get their own line colour so multiple routes stay apart on the map; you can override it per track from the place details. See [Map Features](Map-Features) for the details.
