Rcounting

The analysis code depends on more packages than I had listed in the configuration file -- this release fixes that.

This is a bugfix release to handle changed reddit/praw behaviour since the middle of February. The "continue this thread" links on reddit (and the corresponding MoreComments instances in praw) are sometimes unmoored from their proper place in the chain, appearing at the bottom of the page instead of under the comment they apply to. That's caused the existing praw logic for handling these comments to break.

Luckily, each comment has enough information to let me manually reconstruct where it should go in the comment tree, and since I am rebuilding this tree anyway, I can just manually expand every MoreComments instance I come across, and add it to the tree myself.

Sometimes things go wrong; that's OK. We can learn from that and move on.

This release makes it easier for the various parts of the r/counting tools to recover from errors, in particular when reddit starts returning unexpected things

Bugfix

This release makes the rcounting tools better able to handle the different aliases that some counters use, or have used.

This is mainly a bugfix release, to correct two errors

The database schema has changed, so the integer id of submissions is no longer calculated and stored; that means we should use the timestamp of the submissions as the order rather than the non-existent integer id
The logic for finding known threads in the thread directory broke when a new thread reached a get, so it was added to the directory two (or even three times). I've included a hacky fix, but a more robust approach should probably be used.

On top of that, new side threads have been added, and the threshold for when a side thread is classed as inactive has been reduced to 5 counts within the last month
