Data views: Show total count in menu item

[jameskoster]

In the Patterns page, each view (pattern category) has an associated count:

It would be nice to bring this UI detail to other views, e.g.:

Can you explain the issue a bit more?

[jameskoster]

Sure. In the Pattern management sidebar each category is represented by a menu item. Inside each menu item is a count indicating how many patterns there are in the category.

I'd like to bring the same count to the DataViewItem component. Then, when you visit page management each view (e.g. "All", "Drafts", "Trash") will communicate how many pages it contains without having to visit it directly.

In some views it may make sense for menu items to be drilldowns, which means we'll need to display an additional chevron like in the top-level nav. Could we position the count next to the item name to make room for icons, buttons, and other signifiers on the right?

Proposal from another issue: #61437 (comment)

I suspect we'll get to this some time before we add sub-category support. For now it may make sense to use the current placement, and revisit that detail when it comes to implementing subcategories.
