[ocaml-infra] google analytics configuration

Hi,

indeed, it's what I've done

unfortunately we are tracking other websites as well ... I've tried to play a little bit with admin access and account migration but this seems completely broken. I don't understand why google can't fix this. I'll look tomorrow if I can find a free or open-source solution and import ocaml.org data in there.

> Advice: if you ever use google analytics, be sure to create a distinct google analytics account for each website you want to track (all this can go under a single google account, so you still don't have too many actual accounts). I have no idea what the utility of a google analytics account is. The concept seems superfluous.

Agreed, something that I learned in the hard way ...
