Some client configurations (Browsers with tracking-blocking enabled, or networks with [Pi-holes](https://pi-hole.net/)) will block any calls to `www.google-analytics.com`. This makes me sad! I'd like to know how many folks are reading my blog! This commit represents a workaround. Instead of telling the client to send data directly to Google (which would trigger Tracking-blockers), I instead tell the client to send it to the `/analytics` endpoint on my domain, which will then get forwarded to Google. Neat! But! If a reader has blocked tracking, we should respect that! So I'm not actually enabling this in my blog until I have also built an "opt-in" mechanism, where readers can decide if they want to send me tracking information or not. "Why didn't you make tracking opt-in to begin with, Jack?" - well, I kinda addressed that [here](https://blog.scubbo.org/posts/commenting-enabled/), but you're right that that would have been a little more ethical. Still - enabling Google Analytics didn't feel _too_ bad (since anyone who cared about detecting and blocking it would still be able to with standard methods - and I assume that anyone reading my blog will know how to), whereas this new approach feels like a circumvention of their agency.
