Implement optional count in Feature Providers

[webb-ben]

Overview

Implement count field in provider def allowing providers with expensive count actions to skip returning a numberMatched value in the normal feature collection response when count is false.

Related Issue / discussion

Closes: #1969
Pending: #2174

Additional information

• Providers that do not have this added either require a count or may return it without performing an expensive count query.
• https://github.com/cgs-earth/pygeoapi-plugins/blob/master/pygeoapi_plugins/provider/postgresql.py offers a Postgis provider with a psuedocount which is faster but less accurate than a full count.

Nice addition! 👍🏽

Are you also planning to add the other feature providers (e.g.: elasticsearch, opensearch, parquet)?

If not, maybe you could add a column here with "optional count"?

pygeoapi/docs/source/publishing/ogcapi-features.rst

Lines 18 to 19 in a4dc75b

	.. csv-table::
	:header: Provider, property filters/display, resulttype, bbox, datetime, sortby, skipGeometry, domains, CQL, transactions, crs

IMHO count is an 'opt-in' feature (if not defined, then default). As a rule, we should not strive for provider parity (while not breaking compatibility).
