Add the option in mA

Add the option to display in mA (MILIAMPERE), either positive if it is in the socket charging, or negative if it is out of the socket discharging. And also add the option of the icon update interval.

I initially used dynamic units, but never observed values small enough to actually display mA/mW/etc. This does overlap a bit with another request to increase precision in the main app view, so this might become more relevant.

I'd be very grateful if you could add this option, so it's easier to know how much the charger is charging and how much the phone is draining. Thanks for taking it into consideration.

I was going to request this. Thank you.

It won't tell you how much the charger is charging and how much the phone is draining cause it tells you half the story everytime. Actually mA consumption will change through different battery percentages cause the phone has to draw more current at lower battery since the voltage is lower. Hence why mA measurements make NO sense, and I'm happy this app is the way it is

I am not sure if this is a valid use case for mA. When limit to 80% is enabled and the battery reaches 80%, the current can drop to < 10 mA. Wattz can only show 0.0A, while some apps are able to show non-zero small values.

$ termux-battery-status
{
  "health": "GOOD",
  "percentage": 80,
  "plugged": "PLUGGED_AC",
  "status": "NOT_CHARGING",
  "temperature": 25.200000762939453,
  "current": 7500
}

$ termux-battery-status
{
  "health": "GOOD",
  "percentage": 80,
  "plugged": "PLUGGED_AC",
  "status": "NOT_CHARGING",
  "temperature": 25.600000381469727,
  "current": -625
}

As far as I know, termux-battery-status displays in µA, so it is even possible to drop below 1 mA.
