Reliant on #15747 but pulled to a
separate PR to reduce noise.
has_many :through
associations have theundocumented behavior of automatically detecting counter caches.
However, the way in which it does so is inconsistent with counter caches

As with normal

associations, the user should specify thecounter cache on the
belongs_to
, if they'd like it updated.Fixes #3903
