Hello,

first thank you very much for Freizeitkarte. It is really a great map for garmin devices. I've bought a Garmin fenix device, which is a fitness tracker watch with supports Garmin maps.

As it is a small device, the CPU power is lower than in the GPS devices Garmin offers. This means we need a map with less POIs, different polygon sizes for zoom level so that it is fast and a TYP file with more contrast as the colors are very desaturated on the device.

This pull request adds support for it.

The fzk-fenix style could also be renamed to fzk-light.

Please merge - great work from @cryptomilk 👍
I did some tests yesterday with the fenix-branch from @cryptomilk and my Fenix 6x Pro.

This is a really useful PR, what is stopping it from getting merged ?

They are really irritating as they look like roads on the map. Also
there is really no need for them on a fitness tracker.
We don't need that information on a watch. This renders the map quicker.
The Garmin fenix series display colors desaturted, so we need to choose
darker colors for the map display.
