Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Given that interior phylogeny nodes may be marked active, a direct way to count tip nodes besides `GetNumActive` would be useful.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing GetNumActive implementation and any tests for node-counting methods. Add the requested tip-node count alongside that behavior, ensuring interior nodes marked active are not included, then extend the relevant tests to verify the result.
