Option to automatically upload data to OpenStreetMap

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd love to be able to automatically contribute my tracks to OSM.

Describe the solution you'd like
Settings option to automatically send recorded tracks to OSM. The track beginning and end could/should be removed by a given radius to preserve privacy. There should be an option to upload anonymously (probably enabled by default).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually exporting and stripping tracks and then uploading them to OSM.

I'd be personally ok with giving up on excluding the network permission. That's not a real threat in an open source app with non-critical data.

@vfosnar if you want to work on this, please re-open.
Some concept without adding network permissions into OpenTracks would be nice though.
Just from the top of my head: after finishing a recording send an Intent, so that another app can handle the upload.
