[HOT] [Tasking Manager] enhancements - testers required

[Augustin Doury]

Sorry for this second email, I just want to add something about this point
of my last email :

1) Limit how many times you could split the tasks, for a zoom level of 17,
maybe not more than once.
> sometimes tasks are splitted twice or more, it really slows the mapping.

On the "users" page,the number of tiles done by a contributor could depend
on the size of the tiles he has done :
- if he did not split tiles, show "1" for one tile
- if he did, show "0,25" for one tile which is from a tile splitted once.
