Optimize `UserStatpost_read_count` calculation. In addition, tests were updated to fail when code is not evaluated. Creation of PostTiming was updating `post_read_count`. Count it has to be reset to ensure that ensure_consitency correctly calculates result. Extracting users seen in the last hour to separate Common Table Expression reduces the amount of processed rows.
