Move over to using the Universal Analytics snippet

Deprecate the old classic GA snippet in favor of using the universal snippet. The new universal snippet also contains commented out features such as display features and enhanced link attribution. The snippet has been tested against a website that pulled in 400 million page views over the course of a month, it also had custom event tracking implemented. Snippet provided courtesy of @rmarescu, which originated here: reed/turbolinks-compatibility#41
