In SWATH2stats: Transform and Filter SWATH Data for Statistical Packages

#' Counts the analytes across the different injections
#'
#' This functions counts the number of different peakgroups, peptides and
#' proteins in different injections.
#'
#' @param data A data frame containing SWATH data.
#' @param column_levels  Columns in which the number of unique identifiers 
#'   should be counted.
#' @param column_by Column for which the different identifiers should be counted
#'   for, e.g. for the different injections.
#' @param rm_decoy Option to not remove decoy before counting.
#' @return Returns a data frame with the count of the different identifiers per
#'   e.g. injection.
