Remove mentions, top mentions, and top users derivatives #89

Closed lwrubel closed 3 years ago

See analysis in #84 of performance concerns and alternative approaches. Mentions/top mentions/ top users derivatives are time-consuming to produce and tie up processes, thus blocking other exports completing in a timely fashion. We aren't seeing usage of these derivatives in published research. The analytics can still be completed by researchers directly from the data.
