Description
After fiddled around the current master build, I realized there's much potential on providing meaningful touch bar features. (Shoutout to #977, we really need to implement customization!) The word count widget, for example, is an extremely useful feature, but showing it on-screen has always been a distraction.
Here"s a quick-and-dirty [WIP](https://github.com/rschiang/macdown/tree/word-count-touch-bar) that shows the word count being implemented as a popover:
I'll try polish it up so that the on-screen word count widget would hide itself and vice versa. Any comments would be appreciated.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked word-count-touch-bar branch against the current master build and examining the existing on-screen word count behavior. The feature is done when the word count appears in a Touch Bar popover, the on-screen widget hides while the Touch Bar version is shown and vice versa, and the presentation is polished beyond the current WIP.
