[ocaml-infra] google analytics configuration

[Ashish Agarwal]

As far as I can tell, the hierarchy is:

Google Account

Google Analytics (GA) Account - an account that can be shared to multiple
Google Accounts

Property - multiple properties can be put under a GA Account

The problems:

1) You can give read only access to multiple Google Accounts on a per
property basis. But you can give admin access only to an entire GA Account,
giving the Google Account holder full rights to all Properties under that
GA Account.

2) You cannot move a Property from one GA Account to another.
