Introduce Commit Count in VersionDetails

[natanloterio]

Before this PR

Currently, gradle-git-version does not provide the total commit count of the repository. Many Android projects rely on this count to set versionCode, forcing them to implement custom scripts or workarounds.

After this PR

A new property totalCommits is exposed, allowing users to access the total number of commits directly from the plugin. Android projects can now set versionCode using:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        versionCode gitVersion.commitCount
        versionName gitVersion.lastTag  
   }
}

==COMMIT_MSG==
Add totalCommits property to expose the repository's total commit count for versioning.
==COMMIT_MSG==

Possible downsides?

• Users who don’t need the commit count will see a minor increase in plugin computation time when querying Git metadata.
• Projects relying on older Git versions may encounter compatibility issues if commit count retrieval fails.
