Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
The download number of each result returned from Find-PSResource would be very useful when pulling data from PowerShellGallery for analysis purpose. Today, I have to search on PowerShellGelllery to find the download number, which makes it hard to automate my analysis.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Each object returned from Find-PSResource should have a property TotalDownloads reflecting the number of downloads at about the time the query is done by Find-PSResource.

Research direction
Start at the Find-PSResource entry point and trace how each result is built from PowerShell Gallery data. Identify where result properties are mapped and how existing tests exercise this command. Done means every returned result exposes TotalDownloads with the download count available when the query runs.
