Description

@JenSwish

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would like to be able to show the number of times a post has been viewed since it was published on all site posts, using the data from Jetpack stats.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would like to be able to turn on/off the feature to show post counts on individual posts and post archive pages.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are some plugins available that do this, but they don't pull their data from Jetpack stats, so the post counts start from the point the plugin was activated.

Additional context

Many of these plugins require a shortcode be added to every post, which is very cumbersome if the site has a large number of posts.
