Description
**Absolute Pulse Counter with manual Reset**
**For using ESPHome as monitoring system for a test stand it would be a basic feature to have a counter (uint32_t) for counting events.**
**The existing component pulse_counter is timebased and not useable for this.**

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing pulse_counter component in ESPHome and determine how its time-based behavior differs from the requested absolute counter. Clarify the expected uint32_t counting and manual-reset behavior, then verify that the finished feature counts test-stand events independently of time and can be reset manually.
