Generate and calculate aggregations across generic foreign keys.

>>> from misc import generic_annotate, generic_aggregate
>>> from blog.models import Entry
>>> from tagging.models import TaggedItem
>>> from django.db.models import Count
>>> qs = generic_annotate(Entry.objects.all(), TaggedItem.object, 'id', Count)
>>> qs[0].score
5L

>>> qs[1].score
4L

>>> qs[1].tags
u'databases django many-to-many python'

>>> generic_aggregate(Entry.objects.all(), TaggedItem.object, 'id', Count)
106L # total number of times entries were tagged
