Issue:
ENH: simplify id assignment using explode
The id assignment of generate_staypoints (starting from [here](https://github.com/mie-lab/trackintel/blob/8372d269c9ab2489c3a4ef7a8bf4bb04625127bb/trackintel/preprocessing/positionfixes.py#L148) ) can be simplified by using the explode function, like in [generate_trips function](https://github.com/mie-lab/trackintel/blob/8372d269c9ab2489c3a4ef7a8bf4bb04625127bb/trackintel/preprocessing/triplegs.py#L243).

Also, We can maybe generalize this process and write a generic function in util

Pull request description:
ENH: Add `_explode_agg` to simplify id assignment in staypoint generation
closes #326 
Adds new function `_explode_agg` and tests for that function.
This function is used in `generate_trips` and `generate_staypoints`.
