Description
While working on https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/10136 it became obvious very quickly that adding a `count` field to the [volume specification](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/commands/volume/register#volume-specification) will make registering and creating CSI volumes much nicer.
We can have it automatically add the expected suffix that we want for per-alloc scheduling, so that a volume spec like the following:
```hcl
id = "ebs_prod_db"
count = 2
name = "database"
type = "csi"
external_id = "vol-23452345"
plugin_id = "ebs-prod"
access_mode = "single-node-writer"
attachment_mode = "file-system"
mount_options {
fs_type = "ext4"
mount_flags = ["ro"]
}
```
will register two volumes, with IDs `ebs_prod_db[0]` and `ebs_prod_db[1]`. This is pretty easy to fold into the work being done in Nomad 1.1 for https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/8212

Research direction
Start with the volume specification in the volume register/create command documentation and trace how the example fields are handled. Confirm the registration path supports a count and determine the expected naming for each generated volume; done means a count of 2 produces the documented suffixed IDs for CSI volumes.
