FEATURE: Subscriptions - Button and Page Resolution

[ghost]

Ideal Release Date: 12/11, morning EST.

The Issue

(1) User needs to Subscribe to channel ("subscribe")
(2)* User needs to see their Subscriptions ("subscribe_list")
(3) Publisher needs to see their subscriber count ("subscriber_count")
(4)** Publisher needs to see where their subscriber count arrived from ("subscriber_sourceCount")

*This is a second Homepage, structurally identical to current Homepage, populated by local "subscribe_list" content.
**This is an analytic. Enable a Publisher to see which pages generated what Subscribe clicks.

Expected behaviour IN ORDER OF PRIORITY

Subscribe Button on Video Page
Subscribe Button on Channel Page
Subscription Homepage View
Publisher-side Channel Data related to Subscribe commands

We need to figure out how subscriptions will integrate with the daemon.

FWIW, I strongly believe Subscriptions belong at the app layer. This is not a fundamental aspect of LBRY, it is aesthetic and application-specific.

If subscriptions are only at the app/local level (which I think is reasonable), it will be tricky to count the number of subscribers.
