Record update requests and expose stats #6

A great benefit to developers or Marketplaces would be to keep stats on active installs and expose this back to the developer or Marketplace when we check to see if their manfiest has changed.

@jhugman had this idea, based on how Feed Burner used to send a custom HTTP header when it fetched RSS feeds.

We currently don't have a centralized metrics database that we could pull this from.

We do provide these stats via Graphite and Heka, but that would be tough to pull from the web app at runtime.
