Item count inside TRepeater and TDataList during databind

[GoogleCodeExporter]

**IMPROVEMENT**

I added two methods inside IItemDataRenderer :

getItemCount()
setItemCount($value)

in order to be able to call

<# $this->ItemCount #> inside templates during the databind process.

Using items is not a viable solution since items is an internal collection of 
repeater and it's filled during databind process.

I attach all the modified files.

Making the item count a property of the item (and not of the container) seems a 
waste of ram to me: if i have 10k items, i will have the same information 
duplicated  10k times, one for each item in the collection.
Additionally, the idea of having the item count as a property of an item is not 
logical: what if the same item is added in two or more collections? The 
itemcount property is better suited to be a property of the collection itself.
By the way, it already exists as the getItems()->getCount() property.

Isn't it available only at the end of the databile cycle?

Using <%# $this->Parent->Parent->ItemCount %> (during databind) will return 0; 
using <%= $this->Parent->Parent->ItemCount %> will return the umber of items.
