Enable capability to stop logging referrals

[timheuer]

Given the support for Google Analytics (or frankly any other analytics) the concept of Subtext logging referral traffic to me seems pointless. The referral database areas are one where people have created scripts to clean them up and I constantly delete the data routinely.

IMO just remove the referral logging all together, but at a minimum, allow us to toggle that off.

This is something high on the list... Disabling referral tracking all together is probably the easiest option :)
On/off toggle is also easy.
Our original idea was to enable some kind of maintenance via a page in the admin, but since this issue is blocking people from moving to Azure (myself included) we might just add the toggle switch in the web.config.

Simo

This could be set/reset from the web.config itself, through BlogConfigurationSettings=>Tracking=>enableWebStats="false" and BlogConfigurationSettings=>Tracking=>enableAggBugs="false"
