 i18n: Define Word count type as a WP_Locale property.

 As commented on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/47511#comment:19,
 the `word count type` should be added as a locale property, so it doesn't
 need to be translated separately across multiple projects.

 Many plugins and themes could use it without the need to set their own
 `_x( 'words', 'Word count type. Do not translate!' )` translation string.

 This proposal has the exact same approach as of the recent creation of
 `wp_get_list_item_separator()` on https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/commit/a37a72077e90a04e4fa6205c6e99fb6614d3bc0d

 This proposal implements the following:
 - Define `word count type` as a new WP_Locale property
 - Add `wp_get_word_count_type()` as a wrapper for
 `WP_Locale::get_word_count_type`
 - Replace all `_x( 'words', 'Word count type. Do not translate!' )`
 strings with `wp_get_word_count_type()`
