[Dashboard] new widget: Recent updates or News based on DocRepo widget

[christinerogers]

Christine's idea from Loris meeting - generally agreed a good potential GSOC project:

Copy the Doc Repo updates panel on the Dashboard to make a new element that shows latest Projects/datasets added.
This panel should be configurable - turn on/off in the Config module.

Permissions/visibility: generally should be visible to all.
Configuration could include these 2 options:
a- respect project permissions for the user (they won't see any projects they aren't already affiliated to)
b- for data discovery: Show all (new) projects regardless of user affiliations (so they can request access, e.g.)

why: For open science projects (not active studies), it's useful to show "what's new" and better use side-panel space on the Dashboard.
Ideally this space could be used to list automatically the latest projects/datasets added, with a link to the profile of the dataset, candidate count, maybe a list of modalities.
Ideally you could click through to see a profile of the dataset (similar either to the EEGNet dashboard panel, or to CCNA"s Data Access page), or as a default, to the Candidate Profile page pre-filtered for that Project/dataset

Expected to be useful to: EEGNet, C-BIG, maybe CCNA, other open science repositories

Note: @samirdas says something similar was done for NIHPD, and it took a lot of manual updates (fair caveat). Looking forward to your comments on this if anything comes to mind.

Ayush, don't hesitate to ask clarifying questions or propose ideas here.
e.g. Looking at Raisinbread and across the database tables, what fields could used as the best measure of when a Project / dataset was added (so we can tell which ones were added recently)

This is @ay-bh 's next project as soon as he is ready with the Issue Tracker changes. Still valid and priority.
