Add memberCount in the Role

[GhostCoder0]

Description

When fetching the roles from a guild, it would be very useful if the role structure had a "memberCount" property, similar to the guild.memberCount property currently exposed.

Why This is Needed

This is needed so we can avoid fetching all members just to know if a role is used or not. Currently, the only way to know how a role is used / who a role is assigned to, is to fetch the members to check what roles are assigned to them.

Alternatives Considered

Although there is a workaround, i.e. fetch members and check their roles individually; It would be softer on the discord servers to avoid fetching members info just to obtain role related information.

Additional Details

This is purely to avoid unnecessary API calls. Thanks for considering it!

there's now an endpoint for getting role member counts (and endpoints for getting/setting role members) but bots can't use them yet:

any updates on this? we're running into issues that would really benefit from this
