Returns total package count as 'x-total-count' header of {GET} /api/packages.
Originally, I created an endpoint for the total package count ({GET} /api/packages) but this could potentially cause conflicts with the endpoint ({GET} /api/packages/:name) so I decided to return the count as a header of ({GET} /api/packages).

So would you need to fetch all packages in RDocumentation just to get the count? That feels very inefficient.
