Media stats #85

@destinationtoast, this is the API endpoint for the top X fandoms per media category from your script. Would you be able to test it locally before I push it to GAE?

The endpoint is /stats/media. It takes the number of fandoms per m.c. as a required parameter, and the option to use/ignore umbrella fandoms as an optional param. I added a new option to fetch only specific media categories (i.e. just "Movies" and "TV Shows").

I modified the output somewhat - I realized that during the parsing we're going over some interesting numbers, so we might as well return those too.

Example API output.

I tried running the media stats API on GAE, and unfortunately the full call (/stats/media) takes so long it times out.

I think that for this to work, the media category pages will need to be cached. That means that it depends on #28
