The main page was constructing all of the recent games queries
manually before. Now I've moved the query and the associated
class (which would have been a namedtuple if not for the various
transformations needed) into a new "helpers" view. This view is
intended to house query functions and the corresponding classes
for them, so no more grabbing from a query, then looping around
and creating namedtuples to get stuff like nick_html_colors. Now
one can just pass the row returned by the query to a class, which
will "know" how to construct stuff like that. Win!
