Title: Changed position and update snippet of Google analytics code.

Position of the Google analytics script was moved and updated to latest structure.

Quoting Google

> Once you find the code snippet, copy and paste it into your web page, **just before the closing**

tag*

Just like it said on Joomla it emphasis position bold. And `*` is described as

> *One of the main advantages of the asynchronous snippet is that you can position it at the top of the HTML document. This increases the likelihood that the tracking beacon will be sent before the user leaves the page. It is customary to place JavaScript code in the

section, and we recommend placing the snippet at the bottom of the

section for best performance.

So mam knows best :)

And also code snippet itself was little bit outdated. I have updated it according to [latest instruction][1].
