Add an option for getting most common edges instead of most recent #27

Description

@milo-trujillo

We currently have an option -M, --maxreferences that restricts the maximum number of edges leaving a node, to avoid the celebrity problem. However, we currently accomplish this by reading through their tweets reverse-chronologically until we've found enough mentions and retweets. This means -M 30 will get the 30 most recent retweets or mentions for each user. This is not always desirable; what if we want the strongest links between users instead of the most recent?

We should provide an option like -C, --common that changes behavior to read all mentions and retweets per user, sort by occurrence, and use the top X most occurring connections rather than most recent activity.
