Suggestions for the statistics #146

A few small suggestions for the statistics:

1) Change the word "Global" to "All-time" on "Improvement", "Average" and "Other" views.

The reason for this request is that "global average" is a well used term in the cubing community and refers to "typical" times. The items currently referred to as "Global" in the statistics are essentially all-time PBs. The word "Global" is leading to confusion for some users whereas "All-time" is fairly unambiguous.

2) Remove the sigma symbol (Σ) from all of the views.

Sigma is a summation operator in mathematics and does not make sense in this context. There isn't really any need for a symbol or text in its place.

3) Please add an "Average" statistic to the "Improvement" and "Other" views (i.e. "All-time" and "Session" averages), complementing the existing "Mean" statistic.

On various other platforms / timers this has always been my main statistic at the end of a every session.

Note: The new "Average" statistic should use the same trim size as other averages such as Ao50 / Ao100 / Ao1000 (i.e. default of 5%).

Thanks! These are all valid changes. The "Average" stat is a good addition, though I think it would be better for it replace the "Mean" stat instead of just complimenting it, since having two stats with very similar names could be a bit confusing.
