NSM Wiki: Track GET calls in the API as page "views" with Usage Ping

This is a follow-up to #218161 (closed), where we added Usage Ping tracking for wiki page views in the browser.

We also want to track when a wiki page is fetched over our REST API.

Proposal

We can either:

  1. Include API requests in the same counter.
  2. Add a separate counter for API requests.

Option 1 would be slightly easier as we wouldn't need to create separate counters/graphs etc., but would also mean we can't tell the difference between browser views and API requests. There's also the possibility that we have a lot of automated API requests, which would further confuse this data. So I think option 2 would be preferable.
