Wiki and Snippets content counter

Description

When navigating around projects in Gitlab, it's difficult to know if there is wiki documentation available or snippets available without clicking on the pages themselves.

Proposal

This is easily be solved by the addition of a counter beside the Wiki and Snippets buttons in the project sidebar as with the Issues and Merge Requests, to hint the availability of content. Number of pages for the Wiki, and number of snippets for the Snippets:

@jareko @mvanremmerden Bridging the gap between Snippets and Wiki's here to get some feedback on this. I'm inclined to think that adding counters doesn't make a lot of sense as we don't do that projects and the number of files in them. I'm also not sure if the number provides value other than saying something is here. One really good wiki page could be better than 15 useless pages and similarly for Snippets I don't know that a number here makes sense.

we don't do that projects and the number of files in them

@phikai Since Files aren't at the top level like Snippets and Wiki, I think that's unrelated. I think what's more related would be Members, which we don't show a count for. I'd be interested in putting together a survey for this. Let me create an issue to create a quick survey regarding a count on snippets and wiki.

UPDATE - I set up the survey issue here ux-research#338 (closed)

Maybe that's true... I also think that number is indicative of something resolvable (therefore can go to 0), vs a number that would just grow. It makes it feel like something needs to be done.
