Add some fun ways to discover other packages people are using

[jeffallen]

Added frequently accessed packages and recently accessed packages
to the front page.

How about another metric of package popularity being how many packages import it?

Ok whatever, I had fun writing it. I do think that a simple real time list
in memory is enough for this job, that's why I did it like that.

Cheers.

I have a large amount of work in progress including a popular packages
list for the front page. My implementation of the popular package list
outsources tracking to Google Analytics. Google Analytics takes care of a
number of issues including accurate detection of robots and user tracking.
I plan to continue forward with my implementation of the popular package
list.

My main goal for the home page is to improve discovery of high quality
packages. The list of recently accessed packages does not help with that
goal, but it might be fun. I'll need to think about this more.

Regarding the code:

• The data is lost on a server restart. This is a problem,
  particularly for the popular package list.

• The links on the home page will artificially increase a package's
  popularity. To avoid this, referrals from the home page should not be
  counted.
