[Mono-osx] Suggestions for standard naming of "numberOf..." methods

[Regan Sarwas]

Below is the summary from the MonoMac API.  My suggestions appear as
comments.  In my opinion XxxCount was clearest in most cases.  I did not
propose changes to the members of any of the [Model] classes, or
NSBrowserDelegate, as I am not sure of the implications or what reads best.
 Make (or reject) any changes you want and I will implement.

=========
Appkit.cs
=========
interface NSBitmapImageRep {
[Export ("numberOfPlanes")]
int Planes { get; }
// use PlaneCount
--
interface NSBrowser {
[Export ("numberOfVisibleColumns")]
int VisibleColumns { get; }
// use VisibleColumnCount
--
interface NSBrowserDelegate {
[Export ("browser:numberOfRowsInColumn:"), EventArgs ("NSBrowserColumn")]
int RowsInColumn (NSBrowser sender, int column);
 [Export ("browser:numberOfChildrenOfItem:")]
int CountChildren (NSBrowser browser, NSObject item);
--
interface NSColor {
[Export ("numberOfComponents")]
int ComponentCount { get; }
--
interface NSColorSpace {
[Export ("numberOfColorComponents")]
int ColorComponents { get; }
// use ComponentCount
--
interface NSComboBox {
[Export ("numberOfVisibleItems")]
int VisibleItems { get; set; }
// use VisibleItemCount

[Export ("numberOfItems")]
int Count { get; }
// use ItemCount
--

interface NSComboBoxDataSource {
[Export ("numberOfItemsInComboBox:")]
