Add platform game_count and use in UI

Compute and store a game_count field for each platform in src/update_db.py (defaults to 0 when no games) and rewrite platforms/all.json with the counts. Update gh-pages-template/assets/js/item_loader.js to read and display sorted[item]['game_count'] instead of deriving the count from the games array. This ensures the frontend uses the precomputed count when rendering platform cards.
