Fetching how many updates are avaiable

[Artur Rona]

Binary package hint: update-notifier

This is a wish. If any updates are available, update-notifier inform us about it by message "Software updates available". There would be better, that at once inform how many updates are available e.g. "8 software updates available".

This is in ../src/update.c:219. I think that this can see like:
     orig: _("Software updates available"),
after patch: _("%i software updates available"),

and changes in language files if this needed.
