bGeigie import: "number of lines" vs. "number of measurments" #81

Number of lines should include all lines in the file (including comments, corrupted lines, etc.), more or less $(wc -l) ...

Number of measurements, probably means "number of valid (=parsed fine) lines", so may be renamed to "number of valid measurements:" or simply "number of datapoints:" or even "valid data lines:" ...

Additionally, "errors:" and "comment lines:" is useful.

The databot app has most of the logic for this parsing AFAIK. Is it reuseable?

Databot is on Lionel's server so we don't have access to anything about how it works. We asked to move it to Safecast but haven't gotten a reply.

If we're going to be using it more going forward it should be on safecast's servers with some documentation so it can be used in other areas. -s

Getting the databot stuff brought over should be possible now that Lionel is back. I've sent him a request.
