Allow Non-Admins to access Analytics

Analytics have a new capability called "podlove_read_analytics".
You can provide access to, for example, editors, using the following code snippet:

function podsnip_add_capability() {
    // default roles: editor, author, contributor, subscriber
    $role = get_role('editor');
    $role->add_cap('podlove_read_analytics');
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'podsnip_add_capability');

You can add snippets using the "Code Snippets" plugin.
