if no 'access statistics' permission, don't show stats @ node

Thinking about it a bit more.
* any $link[] can now be filtered. thus this patch is not at all needed to get the same result: just a theme function that strips out the count 'link' should do.
* any themer can add $count data . so *not* showing this at all by default makes sense too.

I guess its al about what we want as default behaviour.

My vote goes to:
Apply this patch. Then anyone who wants to show anyone the node-view count can do so in a theme function.

But Im perfectly fine if people decide to:
Won't fix this patch and let me+others, who do not want to show this to users, 'hack' it out in a rather simple theme function.

But I am not for a separate permission for this. its not really a permission. And if we go for an option/permission, it should live in the "admin > settings > content-types" and be a per-node option, imnsho.

forgot: that last option might be the best. but i'm not coding it :p
Though imho it should just be as simple as a nodapi thing that adds a $node->viewcount. or even $node->viewcount->daily $node->viewcount->alltime. That would be soooo usefull :)

we now have a permission "view post access counter". this fixes this issue.
