Lack of the start_activity method in WebDriver class.

The problem

I was using the start_activity method to start an activity if the application was created during the session. In Appium-Python-Client 3.0.0 there is no such method. I found that I should use the method mobile: startActivity. But there is no such method in the Applications class (appium.webdriver.extensions.applications.Applications). Also, there is no such command in the MobileCommand class (appium.webdriver.mobilecommand.MobileCommand).

How can I use the method to start an activity, by using the command mobile: startActivity?

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: Appium-Python-Client 3.0.0
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): Appium-Python-Client 2.11.1
