Shake to turn on / off Disto connection

Nice-to-have. Think this would be satisfying to use, plus easy to do.

Dev Notes

This probably involves updating SexyTopoActivity to implement some sort of gesture dection.

My first thought is that while caving, shaking the device is quite common. Accidentally turning the connection off would be annoying!

I think it would have to be set to be a fairly vigorous shake such that it would unlikely to be triggered accidentally. Alternatively, just have a shake to force a reconnect if communication is on. I like the idea of shaking the thing if it's not behaving properly.

I can just see a vigorous shake resulting in a device smashed against and unexpected rock or formation protrusion. Not for me.
