[MNT] Use F1 livetiming API to differentiate between race-like and quali-like sessions?

[theOehrly]

Proposed new feature or change:

The livetiming API provides information about the session type. Using this may be preferable over having hard-coded values if this information is really only necessary when processing data from the livetiming API. It would allow removing hard-coded values that are subject to change over multiple seasons, and potentially enable some code clean-up.

Some more in depth investigation is necessary to determine whether such a change is reasonable.
