Word Count and Reading Time

FeatureDone44

As a writer, I want to see a live word count and estimated reading time while writing and on published entries so I can gauge the length and scope of my work. Specifically: a live word count in the editor toolbar that updates as I type, and a "X min read" indicator shown on published entry cards and the entry detail page, calculated at around 200 words per minute.

The editor now shows a live word count as you write, and published entries display an estimated reading time ("X min read") on feed cards and the entry detail page. Word count is computed server-side at save time and stored for fast display. Reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute.
