Allow to control speed generation in Game of Life activity

[llaske]

Add icons to control speed of generation in the game of life activity.
It could be for example a fast forward and fast backward button to a double and divide by 2 the current speed.

@llaske , I would like to work upon this issue.
I am thinking to add two toolbar buttons fast backward and fast forward. and I think i should avoid storing the speed value in datastore .

[llaske]

Sounds good. Do not hesitate.
You're right, you don't need to store the speed value in the datastore. BTW I think you should display it when it will change.

Note that there is no need to ask permission to work on an issue. See here.

Nice start. By the way I'm not a big fan to have one button only. It means that to slow the generation you should first accelerate it. It's counter intuitive.
Alternatively may be we could use a slider instead of buttons.
Something like the one used to control rate in the Speak activity.

It's used here: https://bitstorm.org/gameoflife/
