/// Uses the same lazy, mmap-backed reader as `split-pages` and counts via the
/// shared page-tree walk (`count_pages`), so it stays cheap on very large
/// documents — O(1) memory, no per-page id allocation — and can never disagree
/// with the pages `split`/`split-pages` would resolve. Encrypted PDFs with an
/// empty user password are decrypted transparently; files that need a real
/// password require [`page_count_with_password`].

/// Count the pages in a PDF by trusting the root `/Pages` `/Count` (fast count).
///
/// Market semantics, matching `qpdf --show-npages` and lopdf's metadata load:
/// the trailer `/Root` is resolved to the catalog, its `/Pages` node is read,
/// and a plausible `/Count` is returned as-is — the page tree is NOT walked,
/// so a lying-but-plausible `/Count` is trusted. When `/Count` is missing, not
/// a direct non-negative integer, or larger than the xref size, this falls
/// back to the validated walk ([`page_count`]) and still returns the true
/// count. Encryption is handled exactly as in [`page_count`].
