Feature Request: Presets for custom measuring/points

[fkloft]

For the "Custom Points Question" (in Matching) and the "Custom Measuring Question", it's very hard to agree on having the same exact map features between both teams. For points, the coordinates can be copied, but doing that for lat+long every single point takes way too long in the field. For lines and polygons, it's completely impossible.

What I would suggest: When editing map features for these questions, there should be an option to export the drawn map features (e.g. as JSON). Players can share these among each other and sync to their mobile devices so they can be pasted while playing. This would also allow for easily supporting multiple different custom questions.

Bonus feature: There could be an option to import these generated features into the app before starting the game as a preset. For example, I could draw the relevant features on desktop, export and share them to the other players. Everyone imports them as a preset into the app before starting the game. During the game, when the question is asked, both the seeks and the hiders can add the question and use the saved preset.

I will note that the Share button allows mass sharing of questions. I might add individual question sharing, however.

It should be relatively easy to export the information in JSON format, since that's how it is saved. I'll try to implement that along with my aforementioned remark.

The preset seems like a really good idea. However, it seems very difficult to implement. Although I will definitely attempt to complete the first two things I mentioned.

I implemented question sharing in e62dc7e.

In the question-presets branch, I implemented some basic presets. Do you think you can try it to see how it works before I merge it into master?
