[Enhancement] Provide ability to output category count as a template variable

[Pcosta88]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

User want to show a quantity of a certain category

For example if my primary category is "Beaches" I'd like to add:

"Top %%primary_category_count%% Beaches in Hawaii" which would show

"Top 35 Beaches in Hawaii" or whatever the category count is.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add %%primary_category_count%% as a template variable

why you think the feature request is something we should consider for the Yoast SEO plugins?

Improve UX otherwise users need to try to build it themselves using filters here: https://gist.github.com/amboutwe/550c10ede7d065d9264930f5480ca748#file-yoast_seo_title_custom-variable-php or working with a Yoast Partner to develop the code.

I can see a use-case for this on archive/taxonomy templates, but less-so on posts/pages.

Therefore, I think %%category _count%% makes more sense than %%primary_category_count%%.
