Set a custom variable in piwik in order to track the authenticated user's origin/domain

Philip Elson requested to merge pelson/cara:feature/user_domain_tracking into master

Closes #146 (closed).

As you can see in the implementation, this currently only registers CERN / UN.org or other. It is important that these domains are not able to track individuals.

No change needed on the piwik side - it will just start adding these variables as they become available.

Note: I personally have the "DoNotTrack" flag set in my browser, so I don't get tracked by piwik (rightly so). Therefore you must always see the logs on piwik as a subset of users - it isn't a complete picture.
