Add a counter that shows how many times the timer has looped #116

I'm very interested in the behavior and design of this feature.

What would the main use case be? For me, I am thinking Pomodoro style.

Some other questions:

How is the counter reset? App restarts? Manually?
Will there be a log window where you can see details like time of day?
Would a heat map like this serve as a concise log to track timers? Is that even needed?

It's been a requested feature in the past. I think the counter would count only during continuous looping. If at any point you stop the timer, the counter would reset. The counter would not reset when pausing.

I think that would be sufficient to make the people asking for this happy. Anything more complicated than that is overkill, I think, especially because part of the appeal of this app is that it is simple.

I use Hourglass almost every day, I'm also very interested in this feature. Or even just a log file with details like time of the day and duration of timer would be great.
