Dash Numbers

A lightweight GNOME Shell extension that adds number badges (1–9) to pinned applications on the native GNOME Dash. GNOME Shell natively supports launching and switching to pinned apps using Super + 1 through Super + 9. However, visually identifying which app corresponds to which number requires counting down your dock manually. Dash Numbers removes this ambiguity by displaying clear, subtle number overlays on your pinned icons. Please note that if you're using a custom dock like dash to dock, this extension won't work.

Please use `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()` so it is easier to track for cleanup (`extension.js` process only).
