Write into GPX files how the altitudes are calculated (EGM Correction and/or offset)

Currently there is no way to know which altitude has been written into a GPX files (Orthometric or Ellipsoidal).
It would be fine to add the information into the header comments.

Now we write the corrections applied to altitudes into the header comment section of GPX files.
For example, here below the header comment of a GPX file exported with EGM96 correction enabled and 10.5m of manual offset:

...
<!-- Track Statistics (based on Total Time | Time in Movement): -->
<!--  Distance = 135 m -->
<!--  Duration = 01:42 | 01:35 -->
<!--  Altitude Gap = 1 m -->
<!--  Max Speed = 6 km/h -->
<!--  Avg Speed = 4.8 | 5.1 km/h -->
<!--  Direction = SW -->
<!--  Activity = walking -->
<!--  Altitudes = Corrected using EGM96 grid (bilinear interpolation), -10.500m of manual offset -->
