Wikistats: add functions you apply to all data in UI such as "accumulate"
The total article metric becomes now the "accumulate" action in the UI for the new pages metric

[analytics/wikistats2@master] Add total article count metric
@Nuria, I totally agree that "1-Month" is too short to percieve any change, and the graph becomes totally useless.
On the other hand, "All" has too many data points for this particular metric (even if monthly). And you can not distinguish the last data points.
You can see the slope, but not follow the recent progress of the metric.
EDIT: Actually, you can see the recent progress of the metric (my bad), but it is still too much zoomed-out I think.
Another thing that I don't like is that the dashboard is showing a mini-graph that is, in practice, static.
Any graph for "All" time range does not change much when months pass, especially one that has monthly data points since 2001. It will take around 1 year for the user to spot a little change in that mini-graph.
EDIT: Actually, that was exagerated (my bad!), but the more time passes, the more difficult will be to see new data points.
Maybe, just for cumulative metrics, we can deactivate 1-Month and 3-Month time ranges?
I need to see that properly, but intuitively think that a 2-Year time range chart for article count can still be interesting.
We should probably link to this page somewhere in the meta page that hosts the metric definition: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_counts_revisited
@fdans I think table view is not a bug, rather we are displaying on table data points for which there was no value and, as you mentioned, value is displayed as zero. The issue is that this seems a mistake because the bambaran wikipedia did not existed on 2001 and thus could not possibly have a zero value for this metric, this is an issue that is also happening with other metrics in production but it is most poignant here cause we only display an "all" range.
And while the "all" range should probably be defined per wiki we use the same "start" date for all wikis. We do not have to solve the issue with this commit but I think we can probably file ticket as a bug (cc @Milimetric and @mforns )
