Change 'timestamp' to simple unix epoch

Subjectively, 6d4e7a96dc increases
lag on a years-old production database with ~240k entries when searching
with CTRL+R.

So change timestamp column from datetime type (which is a string)
to integer, storing unix epoch now. As we deal with those primarily,
we also avoid conversions now.

Mentioned database shrinks by 2MB compared to previously (both VACCUMed)...

DROP unused count_by_date VIEW.
