LyX should display the following (as Word and other word processors do):
- number of words
- number of characters except spaces
- number of characters including spaces
- number of paragraphs

We should only count the number of characters the user inserted to the main window without using
ERT. So that e.g. "€" is counted as one character although LyX converts it in the background to
"\texteuro{}".

Yes there should be a warning when the user used ERT.
