Store word count when creating/updating posts #475

We already do a word count during read time estimation (improving that covered in #208). We should store this word count instead of throwing it away after computing read time*. The reason for this is that we can make a lot of fun stats out of it without too much work. Just a total wordcount would be a fun stat, but graphing it v. time ala stack overflow:

or distribution across languages the user has posted in would be pretty simple to compute and fun to look at / motivating as well. Also probably useful when we start implementing goal setting features, e.g. "I want to write 300 words per week"

*actually maybe forget about read time altogether? I'm a little dubious how useful it is since reading speeds are prone to be very different among language learners, maybe just the straight word count would be more useful? Topic for another ticket
