Simplify count

See original GitHub issue

Count aggregates are super common and could be simplified a bit in altair. I am proposing two changes. First, remove the field *. We removed the need to that in Vega-Lite a long time ago and I hope we can do the same in Altair. Second, by default Altair could infer the type to be Q.

'count(*):Q' would then be written as just 'count()'.

To me, the first change (getting rid of *) is more important than the second one.

I think I’ll probably do an rc2 release tomorrow…

@vlandham, I filed this when I saw your blog post about Altair.
