epriestley 486f7c1e8e Add aggregated facts to the Facts application
Summary:
Some facts are aggregations of other facts. For example, we may compute how many times each macro is used in each object as a "raw fact":

  Dnnn uses macro "psyduck" 6 times.

But we want to present this data in aggregate form, e.g. "order macros by popularity". We can do this at runtime and it probably won't be too awful a query, but we can also aggregate it cheaply:

  Macro "psyduck" is used 3920 times across all objects.

...and then do a query like "select macros ordered by usage".

"Aggregate" facts support facts like this. The aggregate facts I've implemented are:

  - Count of all objects.
  - Count of objects of type X.
  - Last time facts were updated.

These clearly fit the "aggregate" facts template well. I'm not 100% sure macros do. We can use this table to answer a question like "What are the most popular macros, ordered by use?" We can also use it to answer a question like "What are the most popular macros in the last 6 months?", if we build a specific fact for that. But we can't use it to answer a question like "What are the most popular macros between times X and Y?". Maybe that's important; maybe not.

This seems like a good fit for at least some types of facts.

I'll de-magic the keys a bit in the next diff.

Test Plan: Ran the engines and got some aggregated facts about other facts.

Phabricator is a open source collection of web applications which make it easier
to write, review, and share source code. Phabricator was developed at Facebook.

This is an early release. It's pretty high-quality and usable, but under
active development so things may change quickly.

You can learn more about the project and find links to documentation and
