adding the javascript to allow web stats gathering.

Added the javascript for matomo using the code from the dashboard and the directions in this issue. When deploying locally, it seems to do so without any errors, and it looks like it's including the code in the source, so I think it should be okay!

@jonathanspw You were attempting to do this the other day. I'm not sure what issues you were experiencing, but this appears fine to me.

Mind chiming in?

[jonathanspw]

I just couldn't find a way to do it. If this works I'm 100% good with it, though, the footer would be more ideal if that's possible.

[bennyvasquez]

I've honestly never heard of including this kind of code in the footer. Is there a specific reason? Just making it the last thing to load, or something?

[jonathanspw]

Yep, just so DOM doesn't waste time on it until everything else is done. It's a common practice for all tracking code and unnecessary stuff to go into the footer for this reason.

Sweet! It doesn't look like that's possible yet with Vuepress, so I opened an issue here: vuejs/vuepress#3209
