Log specific kind of events

[cedricbonhomme]

New functionality to log specific kind of events. For example:

• an object is viewed from the HTML page;
• an object is deleted;
• the import of an object via the API;
• the import of an object via the API from a MONARC instance (when user agent is MONARC);
• requests from a MONARC Stats Service instance (when user agent is Stats service);
• etc.

Updates to object are already logged since objects are versioned.

This will allow us to plot more stats.

New model

event.py

class Event(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    scope = db.Column(db.String(), nullable=False)
    action = db.Column(db.String(), nullable=False)
    subject = db.Column(db.String(), nullable=False)
    initiator = db.Column(db.String())
    date = db.Column(db.DateTime(), default=datetime.utcnow)
