As a simple replacement for `wc -l`. This counts both lines on stdin _and_ arguments. So if "file" has three lines, then `count a b c < file` will print 6. And since it counts newlines, like wc, `echo -n foo | count` prints 0.
Removes any uses of `wc` in our codebase.

This allows our
countbuiltin to also count lines fed from stdin.Like
string, it will only do so when it's directly redirected.It will still count the arguments and add them together.

wc -l, which in some versions indents its output, which makes it annoying to work with.TODOs:
