Feature or improvement you want

Hi,
As 2.7.13 firmware release stopped sending telemetry by default, which is in my opinion very good decision, I think it's time to allow manually request telemetry from remote node. For now this feature is only available via MeshTastic-CLI with the command like this:

┌──(root💀ubuntu-dom)-[~]
└─# meshtastic -t 10.4.0.XXX --request-telemetry --dest '!8c2b2472'
Connected to radio
Sending device_metrics telemetry request to !8c2b2472 on channelIndex:0 (this could take a while)
Telemetry received:
Battery level: 92.00%
Voltage: 4.09 V
Total channel utilization: 22.18%
Transmit air utilization: 2.15%
Uptime: 45030 s

It would be really good to enable this feature from the Android app as it is not sent automatically by firmware since 2.7.13

Why should this be added?
