Clickstream hinders performance and privacy

The clickstream table, and the relevant class (I foolishly kept around)
logs every action on Plans and links it to a username.

The following query:

SELECT secrets.secret_id, secrets.secret_text, accounts.username
FROM secrets
LEFT JOIN clickstream ON (clickstream.created = secrets.date)
LEFT JOIN accounts ON (accounts.userid = clickstream.userid)
WHERE clicstream.script_uri LIKE '%anonymous%';

would return the username of each person who submitted a secret. This is a
major privacy issue. Although this data (or the results of this query) are
not exposed, it gives dangerous powers to the sysadm overlords. Thankfully
a crontab somewhere seems to wipe Clickstream. Furthermore, the MySQL takes
up ~800M that are completely unnecessary.

The class and the table should be removed.
