Add proxy admin dashboard page

[carolynvs]

It would be useful if the proxy hosted a dashboard with stats:

• disk usage
• requests per package
• other dashboardy info that we have readily available

can we make this part of some kind of healthcheck endpoint?

[arschles]

I think we should have both, but would you be ok if we put the healthcheck endpoint into another issue?

@robjloranger do you still think we should do this?

[ghost]

personally I do like dashboards. Would it be public or do we need to add some user management stuff, or at least a dashboard password?

[arschles]

At the moment, there is no password protection on any of the other Athens endpoints, so I think this can be passwordless.

To do a dashboard with things like @carolynvs suggested in above:

disk usage
requests per package

Athens would need to start tracking these things. I would like to keep the Athens codebase, or at least the binary built from cmd/proxy/main.go, from growing significantly, so I would propose we do those things and serve the dashboard from a different process. Ideally a different repo. What do you think?

I renamed this issue because what it describes is information pertaining to administering Athens. I'm opening a separate issue for a sort of "splash" page at the root URL that informs users on how to connect to a given instance that will be much more lightweight than what's described here.
