add ability to skip manual steps, distance and climbed activity

[thegamenicorus]

just add 'skipManual' params in options object.

const options = {
    date: new Date().toISOString(),
    skipManual: true
  };
  AppleHealthKit.getStepCount(options, (err, results) => {
    if (err) {
      return 0;
    }
    ...other actions
  });

Are you able to provide a means of telling which device the steps come from?

For example I currently get this from the get hourly method.

`0: {value: 361, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:30:04.184-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:34:55.914-0400"}

1: {value: 127, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:33:24.543-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:34:29.612-0400"}

2: {value: 63, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:32:10.966-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:33:24.543-0400"}

3: {value: 36, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:31:04.984-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:32:10.966-0400"}

4: {value: 118, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:30:02.587-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:31:04.984-0400"}`

But i would like something like this

`0: {value: 361, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:30:04.184-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:34:55.914-0400", device: "phone"}

1: {value: 127, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:33:24.543-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:34:29.612-0400", device: "watch"}

2: {value: 63, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:32:10.966-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:33:24.543-0400", device: "watch"}

3: {value: 36, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:31:04.984-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:32:10.966-0400", device: "watch"}

4: {value: 118, startDate: "2019-02-21T14:30:02.587-0400", endDate: "2019-02-21T14:31:04.984-0400", device: "watch"}`

My current solution is to monitor the timestamps and make sure they are not overlapping.

Any sense of if/when this might be merged? Being able to exclude manually entered data is a very useful feature.

This would be very useful.

Thanks for your contribution :) I have couple points to discuss/correct

1. autorisation check was added in another PR
2. complete docs pls

3. does this option works for every possible request? Not sure about it from your code.
