Add a section IMU in the acquisition explorer #56

What should be the improvement?
More and more laboratories use inertial sensor for "in lab" / "in field" 
studies.  They can use their own sensors or commercialised sensors (XSens, 
Shimmer, Physilog, APDM, etc.). But in some case, the lack of adapted 
visualisation tool can be difficult to understand inertial sensor signals (i.e. 
gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers and more). In the save way, having 
standard tools for the strapdown integration or calibration could help a lot 
some studies. 

Could you detail it by giving examples (code, files)?
The idea is to use a similar method than proposed in the C3D file for the force 
platform. The IMU channels are stored as simple analog channels and their 
configuration are stored in the metadata IMU. As for the force platforms, Mokka 
will display IMUs and these channels sorted by category (Accelerometers, 
gyroscopes, magnetometers, others). Categorised signals could be displayed in 
"Points" chart.
