We should add a sniff that looks for dashboard widgets, which are not allowed in the WordPress themes (as far as I know).

The sniff should search for wp_add_dashboard_widget() function and wp_dashboard_setup hook in the theme and alert if those exist.

Dashboard widgets can easily contain iframes that can be used for user tracking, which is also forbidden.

Related to #9 We already have a list of function to be blocked in theme. List will be discussed may be in some meeting and updated accordingly.

The wp_add_dashboard_widget function can be added to a ForbiddenFunctionSniff, but the hook won't be checked (as far as I know).
