Can't add webcam to geopath

[kojoty]

There is problem with adding cache of type webcam to geopath.
For now geocaches of type:

• webcam
• owncache
• event
  Can't be added to geopath. Additionally this is not handled properly as system doesn't show any error...

Whether or not a cache of a certain type should be allowed to be added to a geopath is debateable (at rules level).
IMO technically all cache type should be allowed, and if the rules say otherwise, then it should be a site configuration for this.

Regarding type discussions, my opinions:

• webcam - yes (don't see why not)
• owncache - maybe (debateable; should be stationary or otherwise easy to find within the geopath context, at least)
• event - no, or maybe. (if allowed, perhaps exempt from the geopath completion calculation. but this adds compexity)

Hi Andrei,

Previously it was a silent limitation in the code. Now I've moved it to config and it can be modify as a per-node policy - see this:

PR #2293 containing the fix for this issue

I just remembered: IMO "moving cache" type should also be prevented from being part of a Geopath. For obvious reasons :-)
