Return Long from count() instead of narrowing to Integer

GormStaticOperations declared `Integer count()`. How wide the value
underneath actually is depends on the datastore: Hibernate counts with SQL
COUNT(*) and Neo4j with Cypher count(*), both 64-bit, while MongoDB
aggregates with {$sum: 1}, which returns Int32 and promotes to Int64 once
the total exceeds it. Only the in-memory datastore is fixed at 32 bits.
GormStaticApi normalises all of them with longValue(), and the declared
return type then narrowed the result again with intValue(). That second
step truncates silently, so a collection or table with more than
Integer.MAX_VALUE rows reported a wrong and possibly negative count
without failing — and MongoDB, where the width varies with collection
size, is exactly where that is most likely to bite.

Long is the only type that holds every value a datastore can produce here.
Declaring it removes the narrowing rather than moving it around, in
GormStaticApi, both Hibernate backends, TenantDelegatingGormOperations,
GormEntity, RestfulController and the GraphQL count fetcher, whose schema
field was typed Int and truncated for the same reason. MongoDB and Neo4j
inherit GormStaticApi and needed no change of their own.

RestfulServiceController loses its Math.toIntExact call, because the
service it delegates to already returned a Long and was narrowing only to
fit the controller signature.

Dynamic Groovy is unaffected: `Book.count() == 5` and `int n = Book.count()`
still work, because Groovy converts and compares numeric types by value.
Statically compiled callers, Java callers relying on unboxing, and
overrides of these methods need updating, as does any generated GraphQL
client, since the schema field becomes `personCount: Long`. All of this is
documented in the 8.0 upgrade notes.

Typed views bind their model by reflective Field.set with no coercion, in
GSP and in JSON views alike, so a view naming a concrete numeric type
fails when the other scaffolding path supplies the other type. The
scaffolded index.gsp and the two product index.gson views now declare
Number, and HalViewHelper.paginate accepts a Number total so a count can
reach it without being narrowed again on the way in.

The scaffolded index.gsp change also appears in the fix for the Integer
declaration it previously carried; the two resolve to the same line.
