[Feature Request] Show current battery level and charging status in live view

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think in live view mode, it would make sense to show the current user/device's battery status.

I am imaging a ring circling the user's avatar, with the ring's completeness indicating the battery level, and color indicating the battery level and charging status:

This would be 75%, not charging.

This would be 20%, not charging.

This would be 65%, charging.

We can use a color gradient from green to red indicating battery level, and use blue color as charging indicator.

I like the idea. But it highly depends on the data reported by the apps. And what do we display if no data is reported? Do we show 0% or would we need a setting to even consider that? Overall, I am leaning more towards saying that is out of scope. At least for the moment.

True, but the most popular ones (owntracks, gpslogger) do send these data.

And what do we display if no data is reported?

In that case we either do not display the ring at all, or make it grey.

Do we show 0% or would we need a setting to even consider that?

For 0% we can display a very short one:
