Views integration: usage of the latest source revisions

Problem/Motivation

As a follow up of Improve list usage page → we should improve the views integration by allowing to display usage of the latest source revisions only (1 row per source type / source ID) to inform about usage per source entity. Currently you are only able to display usage count of all source revisions by following this steps:

  1. Create a view that has as base table any content entity (Node, User, Etc)
  2. Add a relationship to your view named
  3. "Information about the usage of this @entity_type"
  4. After adding the relationship, add the field to your view: "Usage count"
  5. You will probably want to enable aggregation, to avoid duplicate rows and have the real count sum. To do that, go to the "Advanced" section of the view configuration, select "Use aggregation" to "Yes"
  6. Go to the "Usage count" field you added before, open up the "Aggregation settings" form, and select "SUM"

Proposed resolution

  1. Add a relationship to usage count of latest source revisions
  2. Update documentation: https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/entity-usage/installation-and-basi... →

    +1 for this patch to make views integration more useful. counting the # of revisions it's used in and then linking to a page which shows way less results in most cases was very confusing and this views patch makes it possible to set up a view for the client that they can make sense of. Thanks!

    Needed to generate a view of last revision usage stats that was sort-able / filerable by usage.

    Here's a patch that make the source_id sortable and filterable as well.

    Patch from #6 and instructions from #7 worked for me on version: Entity Usage 8.x-2.0-beta17
    Patch is simple, looks good.

    I'd propose we get this merged in given low risk, noted value from community.
