Display the number of images in a dataset #5512

The idea came from an email sent by @dbloom. It would be nice to show the number of images in a dataset (not just the number of occurrences associated with images). This could be on the dataset page.

Context: It is not uncommon for data publishers to ask me to confirm that all of their images/media have been published to GBIF. At the moment the only numbers present are the number of "occurrences published with images", but nowhere is the an actual count of images or media objects that have been published with the dataset unless a user reviews the metadata summary page for the resource in the IPT or if they download the DwC-A and look at the media file.

I would be a nice thing to have the number of images or media objects displayed someplace for reference for the publisher and also to aid discoverability for data users. I don't see this as a "need" to have, just a "nice" to have.

Would it be workable to toggle on/off a dataset's StillImage filter in Occurrence search? See https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?dataset_key=f86a681d-7db8-483b-819a-248def18b70a&media_type=StillImage&advanced=1 by way of example.
