Define summary stat behavior for object ("mixed") dtype pandas columns in data explorer #3401

Per discussion in #3397, expanding the summary stats for the new Object column display type shows nothing. Either we should return summary stats (basically just the null count) or hide the chevron.

I think the null count is a useful stat

Agreed, NULL count is nice at a minimum, also as a placeholder for data types we don't "know" what to do with.
