Fix crash in states CLI when printing counties - #102

The counties attribute added in 4.0.0 is a list of County objects, but the CLI's attribute loop tries to ", ".join() every list value, which raises a TypeError on the County objects. This crashed `states <state>` for every state. Show the county count instead and add a regression test. Signed-off-by: Arpit Jain <arpitjain099@gmail.com>

The `counties` attribute added in 4.0.0 is a list of `County` objects, but the CLI's "other attributes" loop still tries to `", ".join()` any list value. Joining the County objects raises `TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, County found`, so running `states ` crashes for every state (it dies right after printing the scalar attributes).
This special-cases counties to print a count instead, which avoids dumping hundreds of county names inline and keeps the existing join path for the string-valued lists like `time_zones`. I added a small regression test that runs the CLI and checks it completes; it fails on main and passes with the change. Thanks for the recent 4.0.0 work on this library.
