clab inspect --summary

"clab inspect -a" shows all labs and nodes in a very nice table.
It would be nice to have a "clab inspect --summary" to show the total number of labs and nodes including the # of running and exit state containers
When we have shared servers with tens of labs and up to hundreds of nodes, its usefull to have this visibility.

As long this command does not exist you can do:

clab inspect --all --format json | jq '
{
  total_labs: (.containers | group_by(.lab_name) | length),
  total_nodes: (.containers | length),
  state_count: (.containers | group_by(.state) | map({key: .[0].state, value: length}) | from_entries)
}'

which gives you this:

{
  "total_labs": 2,
  "total_nodes": 33,
  "state_count": {
    "running": 33
  }
}

Thanks Florian. The command works nice as workaround but implies to have the command present.
This is a nice to have feature, and believe easy to deploy, so I just raise the idea.
