Right now a user profile shows the project count, total downloads, and join date up top, but there's no quick way to see how much of a following someone's projects have. This adds a followers count right next to the project count so you can see it at a glance.

Users themselves don't have followers on Modrinth, only projects do, so the number is the sum of followers across all of the user's projects. That's the same approach the existing downloads total already uses. It gets a heart icon, and hovering shows the exact number.

The change is in the shared @modrinth/ui package, so it shows up on both the website and the desktop app profile pages.

Added an English string for the follower/followers label. Other locales will fall back to English until translations land.

Tested locally against the live API, eg Prospector's profile shows 28.4K followers which matches the sum from the projects endpoint.

Adds a followers stat next to the project count on user profiles,
summing the followers across all of the user's projects (same way the
downloads total is calculated).
