Bug Description

following on from bug 678090: sorting bugs by the number of affected users only considers users who are directly affected, not those affected by a dupe.

some possible solutions:
 * keep a cache (updated by triggers?) of the total count of affected users across all dupes
 * sort by a subquery type expression (probably infeasibly slow)
 * stop offering sort by affected users and sort only by heat (I dislike this knowing about user impact is worthwhile and heat is overly affected by other factors.)
