[UX improvements] Allow calculations in expense amount field #632

@FelixDz

I would find it useful to be able to enter calculations directly in the expense amount field (like 30.5+10.75-12-1.86), like Splitwise allows me to.

This would help for:

  • concatenating multiple expenses as one for clarity (like multiple toll fees on a drive)
  • removing the shares from some people that are not using the platform in a shared expense (like food ordered with friends you don't share expenses often with)
  • etc.

This is also related to the management of negative expense amounts (see #621).

I imagine that the way expenses are stored in the database, only the result of the calculation can be saved as the expense amount, but as a bonus the original calculation could be added as an automatic expense comment (needs #61).
