[support] Counting the number of node created by user, Views only

[Lluís Forns]

Suppose you want to make a "ranking" of contributors, being able to
sort them. search by name, etc...

I think the best way is using Views GroupBy  module, using PHP won't
allow you to sort the results.

If performance is important, you could cache the results in a table
using cron and just show them when needed.
