[Feature request] Rename/Alias/Save trackers #174

It would be great if we could rename/alias and save trackers

To add a (hopefully) more described set of use cases, that help explain the value of this feature request (to me at least - it would be good if others could confirm if these use cases are ones they would find helpful)

Tracking devices in use:

  1. I use android tracker on a de-googled android. As such, I do not inherit the Google Play Services built in tracker finder.
  2. I use Apple airpods on my Android
  3. My family has tile devices that we use from a standalone device to help find common items (keys, bags etc)
  4. My work uses airtags to track commonly lost shared items, like company car keys etc.

What this means, is that on any given day, I have between 0 and 4 known trackers travelling with me. These are almost constantly alerting me (false positives), which reduces the value of the application to me, as I am training myself to ignore the alerts from the application.

If I were able to add an alias to, and "mark as trusted" these trackers, it would make airguard a more usable application.

I still want to see them in tracker reports, so I feel that trackers that are marked as known should still be visible, but could have alerts for these devices toggled to "off" that would be super helpful.
