All Core Dashboard Blocks Should Allow Configuring Number of Entries

The Latest Log Entries block is the only one which does.

Depends on #410, obviously.

Options on dashboard blocks may be useful for other configurations, but is it really necessary to allow the number of entries to be set for any dashboard block?

I'm actually pretty ambivalent on this, I only opened it as a ticket because Log Entries has the option, but none of the other core dash blocks do. I don't think it matters now (even if they could display more entries), but in future incarnations of the admin I could see it being a nice feature.

For example: the Recent Comments block only fits 5 entries. For an active blog with lots of comments coming in, I can see wanting a better view of that.

An option to configure the number of entries for the log block, the comments block, and the posts block seems not useful to me. If the user wants to see more, there's a link to the appropriate admin page on the block title.

That link isn't immediately obvious unless you mouse over the title, so it could more usefully added as a See More... type link somewhere obvious in the block.
