New users dashboard widget

[scottbedard]

I'd like to add a dashboard widget to this plugin. The widget I'd like to add will show the number of users that have signed up this day, week, month, or year. It would also show the number of users who signed up in the previous day, week, month, or year.

I plan to make it look like the "Comments" section in our scoreboard example...
https://octobercms.com/docs/ui/scoreboard

If this is acceptable, I'll get started on the PR.

Sure, go for it @scottbedard! Prefer no new tables though.

@LukeTowers are you still against merging this?
master...scottbedard:master

Right now I'm having to maintain this fork in order to use this plugin, and github will only let me fork a repo once. I'd happily do this work off the same fork if you're willing to accept those safer migrations. If not, I'll have to make a second account or something to do this work. Also, has there been any movement on #328? I'd like to be able to write tests as I do this, but I suppose I could do it without them if I have to.

[LukeTowers]

@scottbedard no, I've gone ahead and merged it. I would still prefer a cleaner solution that fixes testing for all plugins without having to do the hasColumn workaround but it is acceptable for now.

Could you make the travis config for #328 more similar to https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/.travis.yml or provide recommendations on what an ideal base travis config for setting up testing for all plugins would be?

[scottbedard]

Wooo! Thank you for merging that for me, that is going to make it so much easier to integrate this plugin with my projects. With regard to the .travis.yml file, I can try to simplify it a bit, but I won't be able to get it as minimal as the one for the core October repo. Plugin tests need to have an October instance installed around them in order for things to work.

Regardless though, I'll see what I can do, and I'll get started on this PR. Thanks again!

[LukeTowers]

Sounds good!
