The hooks ->self_test_count() and ->get_stats_count() are now unused

So I'm suprised to see more lines added than deleted:
35 files changed, 346 insertions(+), 246 deletions(-)

Puzzled - may need a bit more coffee (morning here)..

The new interface that supercedes these is ->get_sset_count(), which was added to provide additional functionality without having to add a new hook each time we want to return a new integer value. This new interface also (intentionally) aligns with the existing ->get_strings() interface. ("sset" in get_sset_count stands for "string set")
