Restore match count for "search in current note"

Features
1

Previously, a "search in current note" would show a tally of the matches. That feature was removed at some point, I think in 3.2.12. I used this feature almost daily.

I'm hoping the developers can restore this feature.

This is related to the upgrade from CodeMirror 5 to CodeMirror 6. It's possible to re-enable the CodeMirror 5 editor in settings > general > advanced.

At present, Joplin uses the default CodeMirror 6 search UI. A custom UI (like the one used for CodeMirror 5) might be needed to display the number of search result matches. For reference, I'm linking an upstream CodeMirror 6 forum post, which includes a suggestion for how Joplin might get the number of search result matches: Getting search matches count - #6 by marijn - discuss.CodeMirror
