I'm finally going ahead and adding a user_editcount field to the user table.
This is primarily meant to be used in heuristic checks such as: * ability to set an edit count trigger for 'autoconfirmed' user group * SUL migration primary account determination
As of r18325 the field is simply added, and incremented on edit (with lazy initialization). It's not yet used to read anything, but I wanted to slip it in there before we do database updates for other recently added fields (recentchanges rc_old_len/rc_new_len fields) to avoid having to do an extra master switch on the live machines.
Since people looooove their edit counts and there's toolserver crud for it anyway, we may give in and allow this value to be displayed somewhere. Sigh. :P
