Add “shake to cancel timer/alarm” feature

Add an option/feature that allows cancelling alarms and timers by shaking the wrist as well as pressing the screen/buttons.
This is needed because:
I often use my fitbit’s timer while cooking, especially now the sense supports voice control. This means my hands are often wet or greasy when my alarm goes off, and it would be really good to be able to shake the wrist to cancel the alarm. this gesture is also used on iPhone to “undo” so it’s probably fairly intuitive.
I'd use this: Daily
