Issue details

It would be handy to provide package owners an idea about overal download statistics similar to the TF registry.

For instance, Akamai TF download stats can be seen on the right side of the page: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/akamai/akamai/latest

The Pulumi managed providers are hosted on get.pulumi.com and we can probably track downloads per provider here. Third party packages are published via Github Releases, although theorically not limited to this setup.

Github releases seem to have a way to retrieve download info, given this third party app showing these numbers for one of the Pulumiverse providers:

The landing page for each package listed in the Pulumi Registry.
